I call them NATO (that is No Action Talk Only). They just know how to talk, but they don\u2019t know how to do it, and it\u2019s unfortunate we don\u2019t have music business courses in the universities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The industry players, according to him, are working to improve the sector, but they lack business skills, which is hindering its growth.<\/p>\n<p>Ackablay further asserted that the industry is inactive because of the government\u2019s neglect of the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the \u201cTake Away\u201d hitmaker indicated that highlife music is gradually fading out, and the new generation of musicians, even though they produce highlife rhythms, do not portray themselves as such. He said they emulate foreign culture instead of Ghanaian culture in their music videos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA music producer friend came to Ghana to scout for a musician, but he will call me every morning to tell me that he doesn\u2019t see Ghanaian musicians on TV. Do you know why? Because our youth who are on television are always dressing like Americans,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, he has commended Kelvin Boy and Kuami Eugene, among others, for promoting highlife. He urged other musicians to proudly identify themselves as highlife musicians, as it originated in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A\u00a0legendary highlife musician, Ackablay Anthony,\u00a0has urged the administrators of universities in Ghana to introduce\u00a0music business management as a an academic programme.
