They No Longer Play Our Songs - Nana Agyeman
Jul 30, 2020
Do you remember the song ‘Go go Sugar Cane? What about ‘Kwahu Bepo’? Well, those are songs by ace Highlife musician Nana Agyeman. Many had perceived that the highlife singer has been missing from action, but as it turns out, that has not been the case. In a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, Nana Ageman has disclosed that even though he and most of his colleague have still been releasing songs, they have largely ignored by radio and TV stations.
According to Nana Agyeman gained popularity on our airwaves in the 2000s with songs such as ‘Aunty Araba’, ‘Alomo Ketewa’, ‘Kwame Ahe’, ‘Mr Ode’, and the two mentioned above, he and other older musicians have been having difficulty getting their songs promoted because the media houses have directed all their focus to the new crop of artistes.
“I released a very beautiful song, Self- Control, last year and I did whatever I could to push it but it never got anywhere. But I hear very ‘useless’ songs which rather get all the attention.”
“The likes of Nana Quame, Slim Buster, Kofi Nti are releasing songs all the time but they do not get any support. A whole Kojo Antwi released an album last year but it didn’t go anywhere.”
“Why are we being treated as if we don’t matter anymore? Should we beg before our songs are played?” he quizzed.
The singer referred to such as Nigeria where older musicians are being treated with honour and supported whenever they have new material, and bemoaned the fact that it is not the case with Ghana. He explained that he was not against the promotion of the new generation of artistes but was rather concerned about how easily the old ones were forgotten.
