As Ghana prepares to celebrate the Christmas season, the Creative Arts Council is encouraging all Ghanaians to prioritize local music in their festivities.
Chief Executive Officer of the Creative Arts Council, Gyankroma Akufo-Addo, has emphasized the need to place Ghanaian music at the forefront of celebrations, as it is often overshadowed by the promotion of other cultures during the holiday season.
Gyankroma highlighted the yuletide as an ideal opportunity to showcase the richness of Ghanaian music culture to both local and international audiences.
By making local music a central part of the Christmas celebrations, the Creative Arts Council aims to not only celebrate the country’s cultural heritage but also attract and engage international tourists who choose to spend the festive season in Ghana.
“This month’s festivities for Detty December, we need our artists to push to the forefront, to be prioritised in the night clubs and airwaves. Let that choice not sample just the best jollof in the world but the best artist too,” she said.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Creative Arts Council has announced the council’s support for the ‘#PlayGhana’ campaign.
