Africa Grammy is Positive News for Ghanaian Musicians, Says Music Producer Kobe

Japan-based Ghanaian businessman and music producer, Opoku Oppong Kwabena, known widely as Kobe has averred that the establishment of Grammy Africa presents a great opportunity for Ghanaian musicians to win the coveted award.

Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeekend, the Tokyo-based entrepreneur argued that holding an African version of the Grammy’s will allow Ghanaian musicians to submit more tracks as the awards will be tailored for the African sector.

He expressed disapproval of opinions that holding an African-exclusive Grammy will deprive the scheme of the honor and prestige that comes with it. Viewing it from the business and opportunity perspective, Kobe noted that bringing the Grammy to Africa will open doors for industries in the hospitality and creative arts sectors.

“We can do it. We are doing great music. We have great sound, great engineers. It’s easy and we can do it and it’s gonna happen eventually. Now that they are bringing the Africa edition, I believe more doors will be opened for our musicians.
