The mortal remains of Ronnie Coaches of Buk Bak who died in November, last year, will  be interred today, at the Osu Cemetery in  Accra.

A memorial service will be held for him at the Success Chapel,  Bubuashie Atico in Accra tomorrow, February 2. 

 Ronnie, real name Nii Quashikumah Quainnoo, died on November 2, 2013 at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital after suffering a heart attack.  He was 36 years old.

His body was laid in state yesterday at the National Theatre where several musicians performed as a form of last respects to him.

Buk Bak shot to fame in the late 1990s with their hit track, Komi Ke Kena. Ronnie Coaches and Bright Blinks, his other half, endeared themselves to many music lovers with other hits like Gonja Barracks, Klu Blofo, Chingilingi, Kelewele, Trotro, Akwasi broni and Tankase. 

They are also credited for championing the use of the Ga language in their songs, an act that influenced several other artistes in the business.
