President Mahama advises On Playing More Local Music

President John Dramani Mahama has exalted Ghanaian radio and television stations to play more local music. President Mahama speaking on the issue in an interview on Uniiq FM stated that: “I think Ghanaians are taking to our music and a lot of our young people are taking to our music. There’s been an influx/invasion of Nigerian music. Competition is good and so when Nigerian music comes in, it kind of inspires and encourages our own artistes to also up their game and so I think that is good. We listen to a lot of Nigerian music and Ghanaian music too.”
He added “We must aim for a fair balance in terms of foreign music and local music. Foreign music is good…I don’t we should overplay foreign at the expense of our local music,”
