MUSIGA Cautions Ambolley, KOD1 min read

The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has called on Gyedu Blay Ambolley and Kofi Otchere-Darko (KOD) to bring a stop to their feud.

In a statement issued and signed by the union’s Acting President Bessa Simons, MUSIGA also asked music fans to stop stoking up the fires of the feud.

MUSIGA indicated that it believes both Ambolley and KOD “are passionate about the growth, development and preservation of highlife music.”

It also expressed belief that the awards scheme cited by both Ambolley and KOD in their fight; the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs), and others “all have good intentions for the Ghanaian music industry in general, and highlife music in particular.”

Finally, MUSIGA revealed that the National Folklore Board has applied to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) for highlife music to be listed as part of Ghana’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH).
