Ghanaian highlife musician, Kwabena Kwakye Kabobo, popularly known as K K Kabobo, has died.
He died at the University of Ghana Medical Centre on Thursday (14 March).
The veteran musician who last spoke on Asaase Radio in June 2023, has been unwell for some months now.
The Onyame Ehu Wu hit maker, who recently revealed that he has 17 children with five different women, said his music career began by joining the band at an early age.
Pupil teacher
Last year K K Kabobo told Asaase Radio he was a pupil teacher at a point in life due to lack of funds to further his education.
Speaking with Benjamin Offei-Addo on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Wednesday (7 June 2023), Kabobo said: “I became a pupil teacher because, I had no money to continue my education, so the school master I was staying with applied for that job for me.”
“I was employed by the Methodist Educational Unit, I started at New Edubiase Methodist Primary School in 1976…”
Touching on his stint with different bands, Kabobo said: “I played about 18 months before coming out with a solo album. I played Sidiku Buari Express, Ampofo Aburi, I joined F Michaels Band. I just wanted to be a studio artist so after one year, when the bands I was playing with were not recording, I moved on.”
