Veteran highlife musician Obouba J. A. Adofo has disclosed that he can no longer sing after doctors advised him to stop performing for medical reasons.
The legendary singer made the revelation during an encounter with veteran actor Fred Amugi at the Flora 50 Act of Care Campaign, where he was asked to name the most successful song of his musical career.
Without hesitation, J. A. Adofo identified his classic hit, “Ankwadobi”, as the song that has enjoyed the greatest success over the years. He subsequently gave the audience a brief rendition of the popular tune.
However, his performance was cut short when he stopped singing and explained that continuing could go against the medical advice he had received.
“Doctor said I shouldn’t sing anymore, so I think this should be enough,” he said.
The highlife veteran, who has entertained audiences with several successful records throughout his career, explained that “Ankwadobi”, which he interprets as the stranger who walks alone, remains his biggest musical achievement.
Although he acknowledged the success of many other songs in his catalogue, he maintained that the classic track holds a special place as the most outstanding hit of his career.
