GHANAIAN MUSICIANS HAVE CALLED FOR A TEMPORARY BAN OF NIGERIAN AND FOREIGN MUSIC IN THE COUNTRY STARTING THIS DECEMBER

Popular Ghanaian singers Black Sherif, Samini, and Regi Redstone, along with several stakeholders in the Ghanaian entertainment industry, held a conference meeting today, announcing and urging Ghanaian DJs, TV shows, and stakeholders to cease playing Nigerian and foreign music in the country this December, instructing them to focus on playing 100% Ghanaian music for the fans inorder to promote their culture and empower their artists.

This comes after the entire Ghanaian Apple Music Top 10 end of year charts 2023 was entirely dominated by Nigerian musicians, with no Ghanaian artist getting a spot in their own country’s Top 10 Charts. According to Samini, Black Sherif, and Co., this is a movement to restore the glory of Ghanaian music in the hearts of Ghanaians and empower Ghana’s own stars. They believe that if their people do not support them, no one else will come to do so for them.

The good thing is that it help boost our local music and make it more efficient and useful to the beyond the return diaspora who for the first time visiting Ghana.
