Ahuma Bosco Ocansey, the Coordinator of MUSIGA Academy
The Musician Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has once again raised a red flag over the rising profanity in Ghanaian music being produced by different artists.
The Union is more frightened by the way that the vast majority of these uncensored songs which don’t have edited versions, are played on radio amid prime-time and given money on online network, something it has portrayed as a serious concern.
Ahuma Bosco Ocansey, the coordinator of the MUSIGA Academy, likewise calls upon Parliament to mediate by way of legislation to control the present rising trend where profane songs are turning into the demand of the day.
He said, “When it comes to music, the framers of our laws never foresaw these days and I want to believe that if our parliamentarians are sensitive to what is happening, I won’t be surprised if sooner than later a bill goes before parliament where they are looking at lyrical contents just like they have movies so they can control what they say”.
While speaking exclusively with the media, Mr Ocansey said that such profane songs are bad for people in general, thus should be banned completely. He likewise approached powers to find a way to guarantee that the music industry heads in the right direction.
“It’s important that the industry self-regulate. That’s why the Union issued a statement where we said that musicians should be very conscious of their lyrical content and the media stations should also watch the songs they play and the videos they show on the screens, he said”.
