Abeiku Santana, a radio personality, claims that the #playghana agenda is nonsensical.
According to him, there needs to be a clear plan in place to promote Ghanaian music, and it shouldn’t involve shunning music from other nations.
soAccording to Abeiku Santana, Ghanaian musicians cannot cross boundaries if they are limited to only promoting their music. This is because other nations may choose to follow suit.
“If you ask me which Nigerian artiste is my favourite, I will mention the names of Ghanaian artistes any day, any time.
My Ghanaian artiste comes over any other artiste and that is not to say that we should not play songs from Nigerians.
I’m afraid I have to disagree with that. I like Ghanaian songs but I don’t play them out of interest.
I play the music that the listeners want. So I want us to clarify that if we want to grow Ghanaian music, that doesn’t mean we should focus on only playing songs by Ghanaians 80%, 90%, or 99%.
When we do that, when other countries hear this, they will also not allow Ghanaian music into their systems, so then how do we go international? I don’t want to go into that controversy, but it doesn’t really make sense,” he said on OKAY FM.
