It is described as a \u2018crazy\u2019 dance where dancers go gaga by either perching on whatever object is before them, go under cars, chairs or whatever while others isolate themselves on the ground to do wild gyrating moves.<\/p>\n<p>But Obour downplayed the dance steps saying, \u201cIt\u2019s not a new dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know that there is a dance called \u2018one corner\u2019. I know of a song called \u2018One Corner\u2019 and that people are only dancing different forms of an \u2018Atupa\u2019 dance to which is \u2018Atupa\u2019 dance,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAtupa is an old Akan dance that has always existed, just that generations upon generations changed their way of utilising it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Obour was speaking to NEWS-ONE on Friday at the Oak Plaza Hotel in Accra about general trends in the gospel music industry and if gospel musicians can borrow dance steps from secular sector of the music industry.<\/p>\n<p>He thinks there is nothing wrong with gospel musicians using secular dance steps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDance is dance.  Dance is a form body expression. I am not part of the people who believe that this dance is for secular musicians. No I am not. Dance is dance, I mean once the music is grooving, the beat is grooving and the dance can groove to the music, you feel free and dance,\u201d Obour explained.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if people can dance to the \u2018one corner\u2019 dance, what he referred to as \u2018Atupa dance\u2019, Obour stated, \u201cIf you are in church and somebody is happy and dancing and moving his waist, he is dancing. It is dance. Of course, you would also be cautious of where you are, the sensitivity of the people, the moral concerns but I don\u2019t think anybody in his right senses will go and lie on the ground and be doing things that are embodying or signifying different things. Again, we are matured in the church.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking about the general gospel music industry, Obour indicated that the industry is extremely vibrant, revealing that \u201cthe gospel music still sells more than any other music in Ghana. It is also the most released music in Ghana. People release more gospel music than any other form music in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: 65 --><\/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>Music of Tuesday, 14 November 2017 Source: dailyguideafrica.com 2017-11-14 President of Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bice Osei Kuffour aka Obour President of Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bice Osei Kuffour, has said he is not aware of any dance in Ghana called \u2018one corner\u2019.
