President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bice Osei Kuffour best known as Obour has stated that there’s no unity in the Ghana music industry.<\/p>\n
According to him, that is one of the key weaknesses facing the music industry. He however acknowledged that the industry is full of potentials which he considers as strength but engulfed with several weaknesses as well.<\/p>\n
Obour made this revelation at the maiden edition of Zylofon Music industry party.\u00a0 He was talking on the strengths and weaknesses of the music industry.<\/p>\n
In a report by Attractivemustapha.com, Obour noted that for every industry to grow, there’s the need for some key elements. These he stated include; a certain level of unity, direction, properly laid down structures among other necessities.<\/p>\n
“Because the industry and it’s bodies are not very united it doesn’t help the industry in collective bargaining”, Obour said.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He added that another major challenge facing the industry is that the players do not boast of their own.<\/p>\n
“There’s another challenge that I don’t know how to theme, it’s the fact that Ghana as a country does not boast of its own. Ghana is one of the few countries that play more foreign content on radio stations than local songs”, he added.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Obour suggested that the institutional framework and the laws guiding the industry must be reviewed. This, according to him will help solve these problems.<\/p>\n
