With over 50 years' experience playing traditional and palmwine music (highlife music), for which he has become so well-loved in Ghana and internationally, Koo Nimo has expressed concern that this unique heritage is under threat. "There are threats to traditions of the Court music," Nimo told The EastAfrican, adding: "The youth today dance foreign music and are moving away from our own. Some of the lyrics of the songs do not live up to Ghanaian decency standards." Nimo, Ghana's leading folk singer, is well known for playing multiple forms of traditional music. For over four decades, he has devoted his life to promoting and preserving local culture through his palmwine music and ballads. "I started my musical career the first day I was born. I sang my first song when I cried. A man is born as a self contained musical instrument," Nimo, who was born on October 3, 1934 in the Ashanti region, and whose real names are Daniel Amponsah, said. The musician spent part of his childhood at the Asante king's court where he learnt his trade. "I spent the formative years of my life at the Asantehene's court (King of Asante) where I was taught the traditions of the court. I sat under the tutelage of many old men and women who are the custodians of our culture." Elegantly draped in the traditional Akan cloth, Nimo and his Adadam Agofomma (Back-To-the-Roots Ensemble) recently put up a pulsating private show for the finalists and judges of the CNN Multichoice African Journalist Awards 2008 .... + Informações

World-renowned Palm Wine musician, guitarist Daniel Amponsah, best known by his stage name Koo Nimo (pronounced "Ko Neemo") is often referred to as the "National Treasure" of Ghana. Thought of as a "living legend" by many Ghanaians, Koo Nimo's music has been a very relevant source of musical inspiration and continues to be after 40 years of performance. He was president of the Ghana Musicians Union for 10 years, received the Grand Metal for Lifetime Service to Ghana from the head of state and received the Konkoma Award for being one of the originators and main contributors to Ghanaian Highlife music. Koo's contributions and efforts to preserve Ghanaian culture with his traditional Palm Wine guitar music, sung mostly in the Twi language makes him truly one of Ghana's most celebrated members who has helped to shape what Ghanaian music and culture is today.
