Ghanaian broadcaster and fashion icon Kofi Okyere Darko, known in showbiz as KOD has reiterated his call to promote a higher percentage of Ghanaian content in the culture space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to Joy FM<\/strong>\u2019s Kwame Dadzie on the station\u2019s Twitter (X) Spaces show, Joy Entertainment Unpacked<\/em>, KOD said the best thing citizens and the creative people can do during the Yuletide is to be intentional about introducing Ghana\u2019s culture to visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe should be very intentional about promoting Ghana music especially in December, especially on our airwaves and the pubs and the clubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everywhere you go in this world, there are a few things you go back home with: you probably buy clothes from a fashion designer. Your experience with whatever they cook or the food from that country stays on your mind for life but music and fashion accessories go with you for a lifetime. So we should be very intentional about projecting Ghanaian music especially in December when we have the whole world focusing on Ghana,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not the first time KOD has made this call. He has always championed the agenda to sell Ghana to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although in the past he asserted that people who provide music should dedicate 100% of Ghana\u2019s content to their playlists, the CEO of Nineteen57 told Kwame Dadzie asking for 100% will be too much.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Supporting KOD\u2019s call, DJ Mensah, the Founder of the EDM Festival cited how cab drivers in other countries are also dedicated to promoting their local music.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf you travel to anywhere especially somewhere like New York, as soon as you sit in the Uber or any of your friends\u2019 cars they are listening to hip hop or RnB depending on the radio station. When you come to Ghana it used to be RnB and hip hop. Now, it\u2019s either Nigerian music or something else\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the foreigners come they want to hear something from Ghana. They want to hear something different from what they are used to,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
