Akesifour Comes Back With New Album ‘Magic’

Before they introduced themselves as Ras Biggie (Andy Nii Okai) and Big Joe (Ntim Mensah) and together they form the musical duo Akesifour. I was a bit intimidated because of their looks and structure.

Akesifour as they call themselves is a Twi word which means ‘Big People’ or ‘Big Boys’. According to the duo, their natural sizes aided the choice of the title, this they said at least to suit their looks.

To them one does not need to be rich to be a big boy and being a big boy does not necessarily mean the person must be fat.

“Our music is big; we do music that cuts across. We believe when we say a big boy, someone who knows what he is doing, someone who knows what he is about. You don’t need to be rich or a fat boy to be a big boy. Our understanding of a big boy, is someone who knows his way around”, they told GhanaCelebrities.com
