We Have To Play More Ghanaian Music – Okyeame Kwame

Award-winning artiste, Okyeame Kwame urges Ghanaian DJ’s to play more Ghanaian songs. Moreover, this is even though foreign channels like CNN and others rate Nigeria music as the best in the African continent.

Furthermore, Okyeame disagreed with CNN’s ranking. Therefore, he said Ghanaians can prove them wrong by doing exceptionally well with their music. His recommendation was that Ghanaian DJ’s should treat our music as their baby and play more of Ghanaian songs.

He made these statements to Ibrahim Ben Barko (IB) of Joy Prime. Furthermore, he stated that Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, others started highlife at the same time.

Okyeame Kwame stressed that we need to promote our songs in order to break the international barriers.

“We the Ghanaian artistes and the DJ’s should play more Ghanaian music, not Jamaican or Nigeria music, because Nigerians do more of your songs so they have the international market, see if we’re able to do this, trust me CNN can go to hell.” 

However, a couple of Ghanaian musicians including dancehall artiste Shatta last year also fumed at YFM for playing foreign songs which he believes are not sensible enough to be given airtime.
