I still don’t know why, whenever there is a new trend in Ghana music, people start saying a whole bag of stuffs about it, it happened when Ghana music changed to Hip Hop and what people called “Crunk”. I think music is dynamic as “Obrafour” said, even Hip Hop, Reggae, Dancehall, Dance, Pop, Techno, House music have been in existence since and follows same trend but I don’t remember when anyone said it should change or it’s one way, one thing I love about “Azonto” is, it’s original, straight
from Ghana and no copy and paste and I won’t mind if it stays forever. Well according to BroadwayGhana.Com, Ghanaian music has seen some appreciable growth over the years. 2011 has seen ‘Azonto’ emerging as the dominant groove thanks partially to Castro, Asamoah Gyan and Sarkodie. Award winning R&B crooner, Chemphe, believes good music is dying in Ghana. In an interview with BroadwayGhana, he urged Ghanaian artistes to work harder and produce better songs. Chemphe believes
there’s no good music in Ghana anymore. “ It’s all about rhythms that move people, no good content”, he said. BroadwayGhana caught up with Joy FMs drive time host, CEO of Empire Entertainmnet and MTN Voice Ambassador , Kwabena Anokye Adisi aka Bola Ray, to seek his comments on Chemphe’s statement. “He is partially right. Many now follow rhythmic beats and they don’t really care to decipher content and originality. Once it follows a particular style and order and good to go, they care less
about content. That’s why we have a lot of party anthems with many churning out thrash”, the experienced broadcaster explained. When asked whether the trend is good for the industry, Bola said “it puts food on the table of many, it gets them the desired recognition, the masses love it, and who am I to pass a verdict? The industry can get better anyway.” “A passing trend it (AZONTO) is but admittedly making huge and commendable waves”, added Bola. Do you agree with Chemphe and Bola Ray?
