Aso was a standout track on Kwabena Kwabena’s debut album
Ghanaian Highlife musician Kwabena Kwabena has officially launched the 20th anniversary celebrations of his breakthrough single, Aso, marking two decades in the music industry.
The launch event, held on Friday evening at Croks Lounge in Osu, Accra, brought together key figures in the entertainment industry.
It also featured a brief musical performance from the artiste, alongside guest appearances by Praye Tietia and Epixode.
Originally released in 2004, Aso was a standout track on Kwabena Kwabena’s debut album, which also featured songs like Ka Kyere Me and Trodom.
The album introduced him as a fresh voice in contemporary Highlife, blending soulful melodies with lyrical depth.

“It’s an honor to see Aso, now 20 years old, still resonating with audiences and being performed by a new generation of artistEs,” he said. “I’m overwhelmed and grateful for the love and support I’ve received over the years.”
The anniversary celebrations will include a global concert tour spanning four continents. Confirmed tour dates include performances in London, Bremen, Accra, Takoradi, Washington D.C., and Sydney.
In addition, a remix of Aso featuring both veteran and emerging Ghanaian artistEs is expected later this year.
The event was attended by several notable industry stakeholders, including Fred Kyei Mensah (Fredyma), Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD), Silva Lady, Harglah, Papa Bills, Sally Mann, Kwesi Ernest, AJ Poundz, Lexis Bill, and Praye Tietia. The programme was hosted by broadcaster Andy Dosty.
