Loved dearly by his contemporaries and sorely missed since his death in 2005 the story of the life of Kofi Kwarko ‘Kiki’ Gyan is one often told with warning by his friends to the new generation of aspiring Ghanaian popstars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"credits\" data-toggle-section-id=\"credits\" class=\"section credits toggle_section toggle_section_collapsed   toggle_section_remember\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section_content toggle_section_content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Soundway Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46664719106209,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/kiki.jpg?v=1783471062","url":"https:\/\/store.greennoiserecords.com\/products\/gyan-kiki-24-hours-in-a-disco-1978-82-import-2xlp-new-lp","provider":"Green Noise Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
