NATIONAL TREASURE & AFRICAN ASSET
He
had been widely spoken of but I'd never seen him before like Jesus
Christ. I set eyes on him in Kwahu some eight or nine years back for the
first time, in the early days of Adom FM's Easter street carnival.
We
were the sensational team, that had taken Ghana hostage with our
monster hit song "AfrikanGurlz" and was billed for every show in the
country at the time. We were about mounting the stage when his manager
approached Jerry Justice and told him he's back stage and has been there
for a while.
If my memory serves me right, Jerry's response at
the time to his colleague was in the negative and said he wasn't billed
to perform so he should mark time. The fear was, after 5Five's
performance all the other hit makers will come on and he may not make an
appearance, so the plea was to get him on before us.
The
audience were thrilled to pieces with 5Five's performance that indelible
night, on our downward climb off stage he was being readied to go on
and that's when I caught a peek at him.
There and then I noticed
the hunger in his eyes, the thirst to be heard, the libido for
illustriousness. I felt the aura and sprightliness that engulfs him.
Ever since that moment, I have keenly observed him. So when the
opportunity availed itself for us to work together for greatness, I was
humbled. I could foretell him climbing a ladder of power and walking the
corridors of high standing.
In my almost a month in lockup,
between the hours of 12 midnight and 3am was when we had our prayer
service led by young pastor Isaac. In one of the worships he preached
about "Okordie" the bird and its qualities. As the sermon travelled into
the wee hours of the morning, all I visualized was the musical gem.
VISION.
FEARLESSNESS. TENACITY. VITALITY. HIGH FLYER, does not SCAVENGE and
also NURTURES their young ones. A few qualities of the eagle.
What
is really fascinating is that he never gives up living, instead he
retreats to the workroom and over a period goes through mutation. Like
the eagle, it knocks off its own beak by smacking it against a rock,
plucks out its talons and then feathers. Each stage produces a re-growth
of the removed body parts, enabling the eagle to live for three to four
decades more.
He still posses that crave I spotted in his eyes
back then. Treading consciously on the path of my prediction of him
giving Ghana a Grammy. I have listened to countless beautiful songs of
his and it's divine how he never mince words neither does he scavenge
off others lyrically.
Intuitively, he represents the BRANDNAME. He is a NATIONAL TREASURE and an AFRICAN ASSET.
I doff of my hat to Dr Duncan for discovering him.
SARKODIE epitomizes the EAGLE in the GHANA COAT OF ARMS.
