Rocky Dawuni challenges radio stations to play 70 percent Ghana music

Ghanaian Grammy award nominee, Rocky Dawuni has challenged local radio stations to play 70 percent Ghana music.

According to him, even though he knows it is a difficult challenge, he would like to throw it.

“I know no body will take the challenge but, I will challenge them, I want to challenge Ghanaian Radio to play 70% Ghanaian music till December,” he said

Speaking in an interview on 3 Music TV, he wondered what was stopped Ghanaians from playing Ghanaian music to build the local music industry.

According to him, Ghanaians have everything it takes to become great, however, those with the power have failed to utilise it.

He said for Ghana to build an industry, “We don’t need to pipe things from other countries into our country, we need to use what we have by playing songs of all musicians working hard to build them.”

According to him, anything is achievable should Ghanaians start using what is produced locally.

He urged Ghanaians to inculcate the habit on leveraging on things produced in the country to build the country rather than resorting to things from other countries.
