Indigenous artiste, Sherifa Gunu has told Graphic in an interview that she’s underappreciated in his homeland juxtaposed the rapturous reception to her music elsewhere across the globe.
In a recent interview with Graphic , Sherifa Gunu said she’s yet to fully grasp the reason why her brand and craft are to be fully accepted wholeheartedly in Ghana. “It is not as if I don’t do good music. I produce fantastic music but it is hard for me to be recognized here in Ghana.
“However, other countries appreciate what I do and always invite me to perform. I have been to different countries and the response there has been encouraging,” she stated. According to Sherifa, she would have been a bigger artiste if she was in another African country.
“If I were a Nigerian, Malian or South African, I am sure I would have been so big and appreciated. I believe strongly I would have been living large if I were not a Ghanaian,” she said. Sherifa said it was about time Ghanaians appreciated good music and good stagecraft.
“Every Ghanaian knows what I am capable of when it comes to my stagecraft. I always wow the audience anytime I am on stage but how many times do I get the opportunity to perform here.” she stated.
Meanwhile, Sherifa is gearing up for a performance at the Africa Most Beautiful (USA) pageant, and said she was ready for the show.
She is also getting ready for a new album which will be released in December. The album, she says, will be her best so far considering the calibre of people she has featured.
“I don’t want to reveal all the details but I have Wiyaala, Eno Barony, Tino Kamal from UK, among other great artistes, on the album,” she said.
