The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has expressed shock at the sudden demise of veteran musician, Peter Kwabena Yamoah, aka P K Yamoah, of �Serwaah Akoto� fame.
The 86-year-old veteran musician, who died last week after a short illness at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, nurtured many musicians in Ghana and gave Nana Kwame Ampadu a break in the early 60s prior to Nana�s formation of the African Brothers band.
P K Yamoah is also credited with grooming the likes of Agyarku and Smart Nkansah, who went on to form the Sunsum Band and Lee Duodu of Bisa Goma and �Akoote Brofo� fame.
In 2008, as part of the ninth edition of the MTN Ghana Music Awards, Yamoah was celebrated with a Certificate of Merit for his immense contribution to the Ghanaian music industry.
Yamoah�s repertoire of hits included songs like �Fa Asem Kye�, �Onantefo,� �Obido Me,� �Sika Mpe Rough� and �Nya Asem Hwe.
