Ghanaian spiritual figures Nana Akwasi Agyemang Panyin (McMaine) and Nana Akwasi Agyemang Kakra (McKenzie), popularly known as the Mystic Twins, have shed light on what they describe as the “unseen power of music.”
Speaking on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz with Kwame Dadzie, the twins claimed that Shatta Wale’s hit song Mahama Paper carries spiritual energy potent enough to inspire listeners to aspire to the highest political office.
“Shatta Wale’s Mahama Paper can even inspire people to become Presidents,” they said.
They explained that music carries different energies—some songs uplift, others confuse, and some awaken sexual desires. Citing Daddy Lumba as an example, they described musicians as “prophets in their own realms.”
“The music we listen to—Daddy Lumba’s songs, for example—some uplift you, some draw you down, some leave you confused,” one of them said.
The Mystic Twins emphasized that many modern musicians are unaware of the spiritual power embedded in their music, asserting that every song is, in effect, an offering to an invisible altar.
Born and raised in the Ashanti Region, the twins are last-born princes of the Denkyira Kingdom and beneficiaries of the Otumfuo Foundation. They received their early education in Ahenboabono and later at St Anne’s in Ash Town before relocating to Accra to pursue their spiritual path.
Their teachings, which explore dream interpretation, mysticism, and psychic insight, challenge conventional religious doctrines and continue to spark both admiration and controversy across Ghana and beyond.
