MUSIGA Has Big Brains But Not Common Sense – Paedae Laments

Neither once nor twice have Ghanaian musicians complained about MUSIGA and its ineffectiveness as a body to handle the affairs of the Ghanaian musician. Paedae, a member of popular music group R2Bees is next to register his displeasure at the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) for what he describes as lack of ability to put in lace the necessary structures to the benefit of musicians in Ghana.

In a sharp contrast to the BlackStars of Ghana, Paedae asked how relevant the football team would be without the Ghana Football Association that fights for it.

Read an unedited version of what he shared on Twitter.

” Ghana music industry does nothing for the industry/musicians. Ghana music is what it is solely because of the hard work of Gh musicians

Imagine Ghana Blackstars without GFA. Musicians are selling our country to the world through music just like football

Don’t talk to me bout musiga

Gh musicians only make money through shows and endorsements. Not cd sales nothing.Radio Tv Pubs Clubs etc play the music for their business

Without any form of revenue to the owner. And the institution responsible for collecting such revenue prides itself of job well done

What we lack in the industry is common sense. We’ve employed ppl with big brains but not common sense

Remember most Gh musicians have zero endorsement and barely play shows because there are barely any show

So a consistent revenue for their hard work which is used consistently to run businesses is not too much to ask for.

Imagine going to the club and no music or tune in radio no music.Clubs and radio pay nothing to musicians in Gh. Wait some musicians pay dem

What’s the job of a musician? Entertain. Gh musicians are entertaining but they r starving bro. Don’t believe wat they say in da music

Lol

We need an effective structure. We are in the 21st century. Simple technology will track down every song played anywhere in the country

If there are laws to collect these monies that are legally due the Artiste

They gave us a car? Of what use is our car to obidi or samini or shata wale?? I’m talking bout a collective problem here

Or lord Kenya, Rex Omar, obrafuor, TH4 Kwages. Old greats who’ve graced this stage. They are retired with almost nothing.

The world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people. But because of the silence of good people. – Napoleon
