Upgrade Your Music - Ghanaian Musicians Told

Mon, 23 Apr 2007 Source: ghanamusic.com

A Producer and Engineer of music who is the Founder of Skyline Students in D?sseldorf Germany, Mr Peter Krick, has called on Ghanaian musicians to have passion and love for the work and thereby try to do their best to improve the music industry.

As he pointed out, it was not the equipment that made the music but the efforts of the individual.

Mr Krick made this known at the second meeting of Burger Highlife Producers to celebrate Ghanaian-Germany Co-operation at the Goethe Institute in Accra.

Lamenting that the quality of music in the country was not appreciable, he urged them to change the style of their music.

He advised that musicians should educate themselves in music and learn from each other.

?Timing, tuning and tempo are the basic rules to mix music, drumming in Ghanaian music is very poor? and advised them to ?train yourself with harmonious songs and have passion for what you are doing and do it better.?

To him, most of the music was out of tune even though they hit in the country.

He therefore urged musicians to focus on the artistic pictures of their songs and make them better.

Charles Amoah, one of the most successful artistes of the burger highlife era, commenting on the issue of copyright in the country, he complained that stickers did not check piracy but they spent a lot of money on them.

According to him, musicians were losing a lot of money due to piracy.

He therefore called on the Attorney General to come to the aid of musicians and save the industry.

Participating musicians of the burger highlife presentation include Nana Acheampong, George Darko, Charles Amoah, Pat Thomas, Daddy Lumba, Okyeame Kwame and many more.

The show would be repeated in Kumasi on April 28, Tarkwa, Prestea and Takoradi.
