Veteran gospel musician, Lydia Dedei Tagoe, a member of Tagoe Sisters, has blamed Ghanaian disc jockeys (DJ’s) and presenters for killing Ghanaian music.
She disclosed that the DJs hype foreign songs than local songs leading to the low patronage of Ghanaian songs.
According her, during a trip to Nigeria, she realised that, their fans could not sing some of the Nigerian songs that are even popular in Ghana.
She went further to claim DJs preferred foreign songs to local ones, leading to local artistes paying ‘payola’ to get airplay.
“I don’t blame Ghanaians or Ghana as a nation but the DJs who play our songs are the ones killing our songs,” she said on Hitz FM
Lydia Dedei Yawson nee Tagoe and Elizabeth Korkoi Tagoe were born to the late Hammond Ayikwei Tagoe of Korle-Wokon, a suburb of Accra and the late Madam Theresa Aidoo of Dunkwa-on-Offin in the Central Region on July 27, in the 60s.
