Percentage Doesn’t Matter Just Play Gh Music – Richie Mensah

The campaign for Ghanaian DJ’s and presenters to play greater percentage of Ghanaian songs on our airwaves is still on.

This call however precedes the cold attitude Nigerians showed some Ghanaian top stars who were in their country to perform.

Many industrial players have since been calling on the media to play about 80% of local songs and 20% for foreign ones.

They believe this will help promote our artistes and make them known to the outside world.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Lynx Entertainment, Richie Mensah has also added his voice to the ongoing campaign.

According to Richie, there is no need for percentage. Richie believes that all we need to do is to support our own and play more Ghanaian music.

He made this statement when he appeared as the guest speaker at the launch and seminar of

the 2nd Edition of the Eastern Music Awards in Koforidua.

“Let support our own, let’s focus on playing more Ghanaian music and pushing it global, we should help support our own artiste, especially the region based artiste, like Eastern Region, you have talent help push them”, he said.

The second edition of the Eastern Music Awards has been launched in Koforidua.

The event is organized by Hi 5 Empire in collaboration with the Eastern Region Chapter of the

Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) and the Presenters Association of the Eastern Region (PATER).

In attendance were the President of MUSIGA, Bice ‘Obuor’ Osei-Kuffour Richie Mensah and CEO of Lynx Entertainment who took turns to educate musicians on Copyright and Artiste Management related issues respectively.
