Highlife musician, Theophilus Kofi Nti, known in the showbiz industry as Kofi Nti has expressed the belief that Gospel and Highlife music are the same.
According to him, both genres of music share inspiring lyrics, talk about love among other things.
“If someone says something that is not right, that is when we may say that particular music is not a gospel song...I think both genres are 100 per cent the same”, he stated on Ahosepe Xtra on Adom TV.
Kofi Nti said, “to me, highlife music advises and encourages people. When someone is holding a party or is getting married, highlife music is played. Words that inspire people are gotten from highlife music. The same way we get all these from gospel music."
He said everyone, from any religion, can relate to the lyrics in both genres and pick some advice from them.
“If a gospel musician or a Christian listens to the lyrics in a song, the person picks some advice from it. Also, someone who does highlife, or is into circular music, also picks some advice from the songs when he or she listens to them so it is the same thing," he noted.
