The urge to see your artiste is not intense as it used to be in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I released my first album in 2004, I did a nationwide tour, it was more of exhibiting my songs for my fans to be happy. Business-wise, you need lots of support to be able to do that and come back with some sort of profits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow artistes are just waiting for promoters to stage events for them to pass through and take their money, instead of you the artiste going on such tour and if you don\u2019t take care you might run at a loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Samini said the advent of social media, replacing cassettes, give people access to even events an artiste may be performing at and \u201cthey could sit anywhere they are and watch you live on Facebook\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m about to start my tour, but you (artiste) need sponsors on board to make sure you will come back with something,\u201d he said about \u2018My Own Bus\u2019 tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an artiste, you need a certain pedigree to attract corporate people to come help you to make something but if you think people are going on tour in rural areas so you want to also join you will come back with empty hands\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Saturday, 11 November 2017 Source: 3news.com 2017-11-11 Samini Gone are the days artistes like Amakye Dede, Nana Kwmae Ampadu, J.A Adofo, the Late Paa Bobo etc with the aid of concert promoters toured most rural areas and regional capitals of Ghana just to get close to their fans and make money for themselves.
