“Me a me Goosy Gander, Where shall I wonder, upstairs or downstairs in my little chamber”. This is the popular song on the lips of many Ghanaians, especially kids today, thanks to the composers, the two young men who go by the name, Wutah.

The name Wutah is a Hausa word which means fire.

The two came into the limelight when they placed second to Praye during last year’s international Nescafe Africa Revelation music competition in Accra.

They later made a demo of some of their songs but had difficulties getting a producer until they met Juliet Amoah of G-strings Entertainment who recorded their album.

Daniel Morris (Risky) and Frank Osei (Papa Virus or PV) make Wutah, a group that was formed five years ago when they collaborated to perform in a programme at Wesley Grammar Secondary School in Accra.

Risky and PV, Building Engineering graduate of Takoradi Polytechnic and second year student of Accra Polytechnic respectively live in the same neighbourhood at Mamprobi and wish to stay in the music industry for life.

Though all the tracks on the album are good, ‘Goosy Gander’ seems to be everyone’s favourite. The chorus is a popular nursery rhyme which the duo admitted they used to recite when they were toddlers.

According to them, they used it as a metaphor to praise the desirable values of womanhood.

‘Goosy Gander’ is a danceable song which boldly tells the good qualities of a woman worth loving. As they put it, the “perfect woman” must posses beauty, virtue, humility and patience.

Wutah’s style of singing on this fast-pacing song proves that hiplife music goes beyond the boundaries of just rapping to the rhythm of a song. Their style is melodious and blends beat of the music.

Notably, ‘Big Dreams’ and ‘Obra’, two other songs on the album which talk about life’s hardships and one’s quest to survive through it, has Papa Virus voice sounding like the Ghanaian reggae star Shasha Marley.

The two make use of rhythms and beautifully sing along with each of them. ‘Big Dreams’ takes a reggae beat and ‘Adonko’, another track uses a danceable Caribbean rhythm while ‘Foriwaa’ is done in the highlife vein.

Other tracks on the album, which has 13 songs on CD and eight on audio tapes, are ‘Alomo’, ‘Me Nnye den’ and ‘Medofo’.

Risky and Papa Virus are both 23 years old and have achieved their dreams of making it big on the hiplife music scene.

They are currently working on a new album which they hope will hit the international market since they are planning on featuring some foreign artistes.

Kudos to OM Studios and G- strings Entertainment for the good works on the ‘Gossy Gander’ album.
