GRAMMYS will lose its value if brought to Africa – King Paluta

Ghanaian musician, King Paluta believes that the GRAMMYS will become less valuable if they are brought to Africa.

In order for African artists to travel outside of their continent to accept accolades, he thinks that things should stay the same.

King Paluta who shared this opinion on Accra-based United Television believes that if the event is organized in Africa, the big music executives may not be in attendance and that will not augur well for artistes who are looking to catch the attention of big labels. 

“They should keep the awards where it is because anything that the white man decides to bring to Africa loses its value. We want to fly out of our country to go and receive the awards. That is prestige and that is what we want. 

Also, the big music executives will not be attending these award events if they are held in Africa so how do we benefit? I want to win the GRAMMY and catch the eyes of big music executives like Sony Music and if GRAMMYS is now in Africa, then how do I achieve that?”

In the meantime, GRAMMYS has said that it is opening up to the continent of Africa.

Ghana is not included in the limelight of this historic occasion because it did not meet the qualifications to host the awards among the founding nations of South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Rwanda.
