Expect a new sound called ‘Ghanapiano’ from us soon- DopeNation

Ghanaian afrobeat/hiphop twins, DopeNation, have announced that they are working on a new sound called ‘Ghanapiano’ which they will incorporate into their music.

The ‘Gboza’ hitmakers in an interview noted that they are very optimistic the new sound will be of interest to Ghanaians and fans across the globe.

DopeNation revealed that they have tried ‘Ghanapiano’ on ‘Gboza’ and it worked perfectly.

“It actually started with ‘Gboza’. If you listen to it, there are elements of Hammer’s tunes in there. We are trying to churn a new sound called ‘Ghanapiano’,” they noted.

When asked if the revelation would not spark any form of controversy and the like, Dope Nation stated that “This is not to fight anyone’s intellectual property. We are just trying to give credence to everybody and at the same time, bring a new sound”.

“The reason why it’s Ghana is that we are taking old and new sounds from the Ghanaian culture musically and we merge it on the piano. If you listen to ‘Gboza’, you’ll hear these elements on the piano.; that’s why we churn the name, ‘Ghanapiano’,” they explained in an interview monitored by The Ghana Report on TV3.

DopeNation highlighted that ‘Ghanapiano’ is a fusion of the popular South African ‘amapiano’ together with Ghanaian culture.

“We didn’t just wake up one day and come up with the term. We have friends who are producers in South Africa that actually opened their doors to us,” they disclosed.

They continued, “We saw how they made their beats, learnt their elements and decided to make this type of sound. If you realize, you can hear the ‘amapiano’ instruments but it is a Ghanaian sound”.
