  • Ghana Paradox Podcast - Ghana's Music Industry and its Future
    Aug 12 2020

    In this episode the trio sits down to discuss Ghana and its music industry. Ghana has long-established numbers of music producers and artists, who have influenced music around the world. From Osibisa and more, Ghana's excellence is well renowned, however, it seems that sometimes, nation's music does not go as far as it is should.


    In this episode, the team discusses how the Government and private businesses should do more to support the music industry in diverse ways.


    It is high time that the Ghana government and other stakeholders invest in the music industry to create job opportunities and help a lot of Ghanaian youth with great talents to earn them a livelihood.


    The country could also use the industry to create a positive image that could project it positively to the world.

    within 25 years” of his administration.
