MUSIGA pays tribute to Ras Kimono

On my personal behalf and on behalf of the Musicians Union of Ghana and the Rastafari Council of Ghana, I would like to pay tribute to the memory of a friend and brother, Ras Kimono.

I have personally known Ras Kimono since our sojourn in Lagos in the 80s when as young musicians, we used to rehearse together and scout for gigs in Lagos. We maintained our friendship on our return to Ghana and were instrumental in getting Stebo Records to handle his music in Ghana and also invite him here for some performances.

While with MUSIGA, we had the honor of inviting him for the maiden edition of the Ghana Music Week and his sense of humor, camaraderie and general attitude endeared him to all who met him.

Ras Kimono, fare thee well!!
