In a recent interview, renowned reggae musician Luciano expressed his disapproval of Stonebwoy’s use of patois, calling it inauthentic and unclear. Luciano, a legendary figure in the reggae world, voiced his concerns about African artists adopting Jamaican musical styles without capturing their true essence.
“A lot of African artists are copying the Jamaican style for their songs, but in actuality, they don’t make any sense,” Luciano stated. His remarks were part of a broader discussion about the differences between African and Jamaican musical styles.
Luciano specifically mentioned Stonebwoy, a prominent Ghanaian musician and the leader of Bhim Nation, criticizing the patois used in his songs. “He claims to speak patois, but the truth is that no Jamaican understands what he sings. Only God knows what Stonebwoy is saying,” Luciano remarked.
The reggae legend’s comments have sparked a conversation about cultural authenticity in music. As artists around the world continue to draw inspiration from different cultures, Luciano’s critique underscores the importance of respecting and accurately representing the cultural elements they incorporate into their work.
