\u00a0Kwabena Kwabena<\/strong><\/p>\n Ghanaian singer, Kwabena Kwabena, says he can speak on authority that there is no record label in Ghana to manage, distribute and promote the works of local artistes.<\/p>\n According to him, he can put it on the record that, no corporation which identifies itself as a record label in Ghana, has the right to be identified as such.<\/p>\n Citing his reasons, the \u2018Aso\u2019 hitmaker said the practice of some \u201crecord labels\u201d in Ghana does not fall in line with what constitutes a record label globally.<\/p>\n \u201cTo put on record, there is no record label in Ghana<\/em>,\u201d <\/em>he said in an interview on Asaase FM<\/em>.<\/p>\n When Kwabena Kwabena was further queried about Lynx Entertainment\u2019s presence in Ghana, he said:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s someone\u2019s business; I wouldn\u2019t want to comment on that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhat actually constitutes a record label, there is none in Ghana. Record labels see talent, know the potential of the talent, build and groom the talent and make sure they get to the top, else they won\u2019t touch it (the talent).<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cRecord labels invest for a period of about five years to see their returns<\/em>,\u201d<\/em> he explained.<\/p>\n Talking about the music business in Ghana, Kwabena Kwabena said unlike other parts of the world where record labels manage and provide everything that will make an artiste feel at ease, it is quite the opposite in Ghana.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople do music here like buy and sell\u2026 like selling tomatoes for a profit. That is not music and record label. Here people come out saying, \u2018I have bought him that and all that.\u2019 If you are a record label, you can invest in an artiste and gain nothing, and you don\u2019t come screaming because you are a record label<\/em>,\u201d <\/em>he said.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0Kwabena Kwabena Ghanaian singer, Kwabena Kwabena, says he can speak on authority that there is no record label in Ghana to manage, distribute and promote the works of local artistes.
