Ghanaian spiritual figures Nana Akwasi Agyemang Panyin (McMaine) and Nana Akwasi Agyemang Kakra (McKenzie), popularly known as the Mystic Twins, have spoken about the unseen power of music.
In an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, they claimed that Shatta Wale’s hit track ‘Mahama Paper’ has the potential to motivate listeners to aspire to become presidents.
They suggested that songs carry spiritual energy: some uplift, others confuse, while some awaken worldly desires.
Explaining further, they stated: “The music we listen to; Daddy Lumba’s songs – some of them uplift you, some draw you down, some leave you confused. Don’t you know these people are all prophets in their own realms? Shatta Wale’s ‘Mahama Paper’ can even inspire people to become Presidents. And there are song that can inspire people with sexual desire.”
The twins reflected on the tradition of invoking spirits through music. They noted that many modern musicians may be unaware of the power in their creations, saying that every song is an offering to an invisible altar.
Born and raised in the Ashanti Region, the Mystic Twins are last‑born princes of the Denkyira Kingdom and beneficiaries of the Otumfuo Foundation. They were educated in Ahenboabono and later at St Anne’s in Ash Town before moving to Accra to pursue their spiritual calling.
Their teachings challenge mainstream religious norms and explore dream interpretation, mysticism and psychic insight, attracting both followers and critics across Ghana and beyond.
