The Convener of the Federation of Concerned Arts Professionals (FOCAP), Kojo Preko Dankwa, has highlighted the success of Obaapa Gladys' "Cobra" song as a valuable lesson for both media personalities and struggling artists.
Speaking to the media he emphasized the importance of supporting emerging talent and artists who are facing challenges in the industry. He encouraged them to be patient, work diligently, and believe that their efforts will eventually gain recognition.
Kojo Preko Dankwa admitted that he initially had reservations about the "Cobra" song but decided to focus on its content rather than the singer's talent. He recalled giving Obaapa Gladys her first media interview when the song was produced by renowned record producer Fred Kyei Mensah, Fredyma.
He mentioned that during the interview, he asked Obaapa Gladys about the concept of likening humans to cobras. He noted that her response was not very impressive, as it was her first radio interview, but he expressed his pride in her success.
Kojo Preko Dankwa likened the rapid success of "Cobra" to Bless's "Chocho Mucho" and emphasized that it serves as a valuable lesson for all. He encouraged artists to work diligently and avoid rushing, as someone is always watching, and the right circumstances will lead to the desired outcome.
He also pointed out the unusual nature of Obaapa Gladys' success, as she had no promotional budget for her song yet enjoyed significant publicity on both traditional and social media platforms.
In conclusion, Kojo Preko Dankwa expressed his happiness and joy for being a part of Obaapa Gladys' journey and stressed the beauty of the "Cobra" song lies in its message.
He added that if he had declined to interview her, he would have felt guilty, acknowledging the song's impressive message despite Obaapa's initial inexperience.
