The man Kwabena Kwabena who is always seen giggling has finally thrown those smiles away and has talked as a man. He touches on vital issues about Ghanaian music industry with enesgh report Abdullai Ishaak. He again talked about how people let him down at the beginning of his career but rushed to him after he made his first hit song, ‘Aso’. Again, he talked about how MUSIGA dont help artistes, an issue R2bees member Paedae talked about that some people attacked him for.
Below is the enesgh.com report,
Kwabena Kwabena has told enewsgh.com what he feels is wrong with the current MUSIGA set up headed by fellow musician Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour).
“There is no industry,” he says.
“It is crazy when you are an artist and you talk like this and people take it from the music politics point of view. I don’t have any interest in going near any music politics because I have about 15 years of active music in me I still want to pursue.
“But there are certain people who should make sure whatever we create yields benefits to us, and these are the people in the helm of affairs. The people managing the structures don’t even understand what they are doing. I don’t mean to criticize anyone but these guys are not doing great as long as far as governing the music industry is concerned.”Below is the enesgh.com report,

Still on promotional rounds for his Daakye album, the talented singer says:
“Ask any musician what they get from doing a hit record apart from being famous and being called a musician, so if you have a leader and he is not thinking about putting money in the pocket of the hit maker then what are we doing as a group? It’s simple; you ask yourself what the other developed countries are doing to put monies in their artist’s pocket. Why won’t you consult their expertise, I heard two million Ghana Cedis was giving to a company to check our contribution to the nation’s GDP. How does that benefit the musician?”
Kwabena Kwabena, who has been nominated seven times at this year’s Ghana Music Awards is however hopeful the body would get around the any challenges the sector faces.
