Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Sammy Gyamfi, the Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that the creative arts industry in Ghana has come to an end.
His belief is that the music industry is the only area within creative arts that remains vibrant, thanks to artists who are dedicated to improving their craft.
Sammy Gyamfi revealed this while speaking on United Showbiz in Accra.
“The Creative Arts Industry is dead. The only aspect of the creative arts which is thriving is the music industry and even that is thriving because of the effort put in by the musicians themselves. Apart from that concert party is dead, kyekyekule is dead,” he said.
He continued “there was a certain policy framework which allowed these things to thrive. Where are the Santos of today, where are the ODs of today? What happened to drama? We have lost a lot in terms of our creative arts.
We can do better than what we are doing and it is the work of the government to put in the right measures to help the industry because we have the talents and the resources to make the industry an enviable one.
However, if you have a government that does not care about its creatives, this is what will happen because they are paying lip service to the creative arts industry”.
