  Keep on dreaming...with your monosyllabic, shrill voices and disjointed lyrics.
  
  Please stop referring to these foolish noise as Ghanaian music. Be specific and say Twi music, just like American music has Soul, Rock, Country, Gospel, Jazz and so many genres. Mind you they all come in different accents - Ebonics, Suburbia, Urban, English(A), Southern slang and all.
  
  Until you people talk seriously about Hausa sounds and beats, Ga lyrical music, Twi highlife, Ewe rhymes - don't fool yourselves into thinking there is something called "Ghanaian Music".
  
  Just like when some noisy citizens talk about Ghanaian Languages, you actually only referring to that street hawkers lingo "Twi". They conveniently forget that Ghana has several dynamic languages, Hausa, Ga, Ewe, Nzema and others...

  Citizen one, what are you doing on your own to promote any of those Ghanaian languages and forms of music you are talking about. We know from simple maths that a subset is part of the whole; so it is not wrong to call Twi music Ghanaian music, in the same way it is not wrong to call Hausa, Ga, Ewe, Nzema or music in any other GHANAIAN LANGUAGE Ghanaian music. You blablabla sounds very divisive and illogical. Twi Music is Ghanaian music, so even if that is all Charles Amoah is seeking to promote, he is still promoting Ghanaian music. Besides, there is no part of the article which said he would be focusing on only Twi music. In fact it does not take one person to say "I am going to focus on only Twi, Ga or Ewe music." If you are a Ga like me, and you have Ga music, bring it on, provided it is GOOD MUSIC and it meets the standards, it will make the mark. Unfortunately, music in other Ghanaian languages, apart from Twi, have not been abundant enough to make any impression, and it is nobody's fault. Even the Ga musicians are writing and singing Twi songs; so what is this your hot air all about, as if it is someone's responsibility to write the Ga songs for musicians to sing. Please come of you unnecessary internal range, it is not good for your health.
