Reagan Mends, the Former Manager of King Ayisoba, has said that if the late Artist Terry Bonchaka were to be alive, he would have won a Grammy for Ghana.
It has been 18 years since Terry Bonchaka was killed in a gory accident while returning from a music performance at the University of Ghana Legon.
Commemorating 18years after the death of Terry Bonchaka , his manager said a few words to honor his memory. Reagan Mends, who was speaking to an Accra Based FM station said that the ‘Pulele’ singer had all it takes to win a Grammy award for Ghana.
“I managed King Ayisoba, after Terry Bonchaka’s death, and Ayisoba gained prominence. For the first time, a traditional artist won the overall Artist of the Year in GMA in 2007. It had never happened. I believed if Terry Bonchaka was around, I would have won Grammys with him.”
He also revealed that his former artist, King Ayisoba, couldn’t get anywhere because of illiteracy.
The manager said “Because he had all the qualities an Artist needs except being well-educated. That’s one of the things that restricted Ayisoba internationally. Ayisoba is illiterate. So he doesn’t understand some things, sometimes because of illiteracy. Terry Bonchaka was a complete artist. He’s got everything.”
