“Traditional music is not getting much attention because we look down on it” – Wiyaala

Wiyaala has urged Ghanaians to have a change of mind on how we view traditional/folklore music.

 

According to the diva, our indigenous music is not getting the momentum and attention it deserves because we look down on it. 

We look down on ourselves as a people, we do not value what we have, we rather appreciate the ones abroad when they take what we have and add some spice to it.

“We forget that we have the original ones and it is wrong. We should change our mentality and attitude towards our music and start appreciating it,” she told Graphic Showbiz recently.

Often, traditional music artistes have to travel outside the shores of Ghana where their craft is more appreciated or find a way to enter the mainstream with a collaboration or two with an artiste who has popular appeal or give up altogether.

 

She said during an interview with Graphicshowbiz.
