Life FM\u2019s Entertainment Chart Show, the \u2018Jesus Sweet Me Koolem\u2019 singer said they need to work hard and be more creative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople do not create nowadays. The creativity in the industry is going down. If we are creative, the up and coming ones will follow our steps. It is a creative industry and we need to be more creative. Refurbishing old songs is not the best. Let s go back to our root, work hard and be creative enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have so many tunes in Ghana that we can enrich it,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>However, Philipa believes all hope is not lost because the Ghanaian gospel industry has a great future.<\/p>\n<p>She lamented that the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GAMRO) have not lived up expectation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGHAMRO can do more than what they are doing now. If you compare GHAMRO to other organizations elsewhere you will see that we lagging behind. Given Ghc 600 to a popular musician for a whole year is very bad\u2026and that is one of the factors that the industry is dying,\u201d she postulated.<\/p>\n<p>Philipa Baafi asserted that secular musicians promote their works more than that of gospel musicians in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 24 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 Friday, 15 December 2017 Source: Kofi Oppong Kyekyeku 2017-12-15 Philipa Baafi Popular Ghanaian gospel musician, Philipa Baafi is not happy about the level of creativity that some of her colleagues put in their works.
