Ghana’s Music Maestro, Kojo Antwi has hinted in an interview with Kasapa FM’s Fiifi Banson of a new music project he is embarking on to help curb the ‘galamsey’ menace.
The former chairman of the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) acknowledged the harmful effects of ‘galamsey’ activities, hence his move to collaborate with some other musicians to help arrest the situation.
“The issue of ‘galamsey’ and how it was handled, for some of us, we started speaking against it long ago but these days we have now noticed that other organisations have also joined in the campaign. In my own little way as a singer, I have put together lyrics and will help fight against the illegal practices in the country with a song which will feature other top musicians,” Kojo Antwi told Fiifi Banson.
Kojo Antwi further disclosed that the new song to be released soon will feature known young musicians such as Stonebwoy, other legendary artistes and any other artiste who wants to be on board for this project.
“I’ll facilitate to get the studio to record the song since it’s my own initiative and I’ve not sought for support from anyone but I believe that once we get the recordings ready we may seek the assistance of the media. I don’t want it to look like a publicity stunt that we (Musicians) want to publicise ourselves so I’m treading carefully,” Mr. Antwi noted.
