Highlife musician Akwaboah has stated that while he is open to performing at political party events, he will not compose music specifically for them.
He explained that he prefers to create music that serves the broader interests of Ghana.
Political parties often utilize the talents of entertainers during election campaigns.
“If you call me to perform, I would, but if it is to compose a song, no, I can’t. I would rather compose for Ghana as a whole.”
He explained to OKAY FM that writing a song for a political party could have adverse effects on him, particularly if the party does not win.
Ghana Weekend reported that he felt it would be more advantageous to write a song focused on the development of the entire nation.
“If I do a song for Ghana and the country progresses, it would benefit all of us, but if I compose a song for a single political party and it doesn’t work out, it would affect me negatively,” he explained.
