The entertainment industry in Ghana has been rocked by news that legendary Highlife musician Kojo Antwi’s Kwashieman studio is on fire.
Oneday Oneday, a shoemaker who lives close to Kojo Antwi’s home, talked to GhanaWeekend about the building’s destruction on Sunday, March 3, 2024.
The witness recollected that the building was not Kojo Antwi’s home, but rather a recording studio for musicians.
“I wasn’t here when it started, but I got a call saying the place was burning. The Whole residents came out in their numbers to help…By the time I arrived, the whole building was engulfed in flames.”
“We immediately called the fire service, and they responded quickly…There were about 3 or 4 firefighters…They fought the fire for over six hours before finally extinguishing it. The fire started around 5 pm Sunday and till midnight Monday” One day Oneday added that Kojo Antwi didn’t show up until the fire had been put out.
