The State Of Okomfo Kwadee Questionable After All His Hard Work....GHAMRO Why?

Ghanaian legendry rapper Jerry Anaba a.k.a. Okomfo Kwadee well known for his traditional songs is now in a very terrible state after all his hard work as a musician.

Okomfo Kwadee is a talented rapper who was a mentor and influencer to many youth in the country and beyond, his style of rap cannot be easily imitated and that is what makes him unique. He happens to be an active member of the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) and pays his dues on time but due to poor structures, most musicians always go hungry after they are no more relevant in the system.
Sadly, many of these legendary artistes always turn to be beggars and die poor meanwhile someone was assigned to take care of their royalties but due to poor and improper structures many end up dying poor after their many years of hard work.

Over the years, Ghana music industry has seen the majority of its stakeholders work very hard but receive very little or NO income for their hard work and dedication through no fault of theirs but due to a failed system that gets worse by the years. A lot of Ghanaian musicians, songwriters, producers, instrumentalists, sound engineers, backing vocalist, bloggers, etc., have died poor or struggle to make ends meet, after several years of dedicating their lives to a trade which should have supported their livelihood during their prime and also in their retirement. These creative people do not receive the right amount of royalties for the use of their creative works and intellectual properties, thereby rendering most of them poor and desolate when they fall on hard times. There is also a lack of proper education and/or awareness about the business aspect of the music industry across the board.


This has called the stakeholders, strongly believe these unacceptable situations occur as a result of the lack of proper systems and efficient structures, which has equally rendered administrations seemingly incompetent in governing the affairs of the music business in Ghana. The sad and the shambolic situation has left a hole in the pockets of many creative people and also had a ripple effect on other music industry stakeholders like investors, managers, labels, bloggers, promoters, event organizers, video directors, video models, production assistants, dancers, DJs, entertainment journalists, poets, etc. We are therefore advocating for systems that will ensure transparency and promote accountability.  
 The campaign dubbed “Alliance for Change” in Ghana music industry is hopefully now the new saviour to help stakeholders benefit and enjoy from their hard work.
