Born in 1957 to the late Opanyin Kojo Obiri Asamoah and Madam Nana Yaa Manu in the Ashanti Region, specifically Bantam, a suburb of Kumasi, and the second child among eight siblings, he played highlife tunes for years. His parents would not permit him to become a musician, so he started out his musical career in Amsterdam, Holland, where he was based for years as a songwriter, composing songs for other artistes.
As a promoter of artistes and producer in 1988, he helped promote artistes in Amsterdam, including the group Osofo Dadzie. In 1990, he self-produced and released his first album Abrabo, and his second album was released in 1992 titled Odo me ne wobeko. The songs "Feeling bam" and "Odo me ne wobeko" were his first commercially successful singles in Ghana and abroad.
The last song he released was in 2011, track titled "Wo be so Mama".
He returned to Ghana after several years abroad, and was briefly the chairman of the newly constituted interim Ghana Music Right Organization.
True story! I used to listen to this when I was 8yrs old with my old man. And because of RU-vid, I was blessed to recently stumble upon this song and page and I still remember the groovy sound! I'll be 40 this year! Music is powerful!!! 👏🏽👏🏽 God bless you Nana!
This song truly takes me back to the 1990s. That nostalgic feeling is unbearable. Thank you, Uncle Nana Aboagye DaCosta. We love you dearly. Long life and Blessings unto You😊
U feel the rhythm and coordination of the beat? Yeah that's talent right there!...one of the first cassettes my dad bought in the nineties, my dad was one of the well to do men in the village, he plays this song when he comes from Accra, miss the good old days😭😍😍
