It demonstrates the challenges of keeping an artistic reputation in Ghana. I’ve never heard of a promoter of music setting up a show with George Darko and his band.
Of course, it’s likely that I was not in Ghana when such a promotion occurred. While I was away, I did, however, keep an ear out for any performances by George Darko.
In a TV interview, Agya Koo Nimo mentioned George’s name affectionately. I believe he even mentioned it in his memoirs.
I was even more eager to see George after learning that Agya Koo Nimo had highlighted George Darko as one of the guitarists he had worked with. However, I never did and never will get to fulfill that goal.
Sadly, George, who was 73 years old, passed away. It appears that he spent several months in the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial hospital in Akwapim Mampong, where George held the title of Nana Ampem Darko and served as sub-chief. George, yie, wae! (One of your biggest supporters says.)
