We are looking to bring all those who matter in the entertainment industry when it comes to the Upper East Region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cYou can\u2019t tell me that when you look in the direction of Navrongo, you can\u2019t find someone like Alapta Wan, Carl Blinks, and others. You can\u2019t say you can\u2019t find someone like Kilimore who can play the role you want him to play when it comes to a programme,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the manager of Kilimore, the key people who are playing pivotal roles in the Region\u2019s entertainment industry have mastered the habit of sidelining artistes from the other communities making it difficult for them to penetrate despite the much effort they are exerting because they are not based in Bolgatanga, the regional capital.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt is left to you, the one who is giving out the names, to say that when we are considering, I think that when you look at the Navrongo-Sandema-Paga side, there are these artistes that are doing so well. Let us add them. When you look at the Bawku area, we can talk about Fresh Fire and then some other guys that are doing so well. Then, when it comes to Bolga, we can talk of Nambawan, Rockcity, Soorebia and co.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He cited the recent Guinness Bright House event as a example of the subject matter \u201cwhen I first saw the flyer and saw Larusso\u2019s picture. I followed up saw Nambawan, Soorebia and I saw a DJ, Black Cedi from Navrongo. Then I said that okay, to a certain extent, this is a fair representation,\u201d as quoted by A1 Radio.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This was discussed in a recent interview on A1 Radio in Bolgatanga, hosted by DJ Lexis. The topic of discussion was \u00a0\u201cSabotage in the entertainment industry; myth or reality?\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>SOURCE: OneMuzikGh.Com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded\" id=\"like-post-wrapper-186753398-4051-6429e22716075\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/#blog_id=186753398&amp;post_id=4051&amp;origin=www.onemuzikgh.com&amp;obj_id=186753398-4051-6429e22716075\" data-name=\"like-post-frame-186753398-4051-6429e22716075\" data-title=\"Like or Reblog\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sd-text-color\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"banner\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1680467065_73_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1680467065_574_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\"  class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-fallback=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1680467065_73_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p>\n<p> <!-- A generated by theme --> <\/p>\n<p> <!-- end A --> <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afabla Ayine The Chief Executive Officer of Up Records, Afabla Ayine better known in showbiz as Castro is encouraging music audience to extend their support to artistes from other parts of the Upper East region.
