Reggae musician, Rocky Dawuni has expressed his fondness for Ghana\u2019s innovation and creative process when it comes to music.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz, he said when it comes to music, Africans, especially Ghanaians, have brought big sounds that are being used globally and in different genres.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana has always been innovative and exciting when it comes to music, I mean our creative level has always been through the roof.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot to say other parts of Africa don\u2019t have creative going, but a lot of times, even big cultural innovation or sounds are usually introduced here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u2018Woara\u2019 hitmaker also spoke about how the Afrobeats sound originates from Ghana, through the highlife sound which is now being played globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you think highlife music and its impact on people like Fela Kuti, his afrobeat foundation is highlife, jazz and funk and that is what afrobeats is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Afro Roots artists also added that hip-life has made an impact in African music and is being used in hip-hop sounds.<\/p>\n

He also added that Azonto started the afrobeats movements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we also had azonto here which started the entire afrobeat movements.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
