A  Music Professor, John Collins has lamented the failure of the current crop of young musicians to make the needed international impact.

According to him, though Ghana can boast of the impact a few musicians are making on the international scene, it is still not enough to cement their presence.

Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday as part of the Heritage Month series, Professor John Collins explained that, ‘the time when  African popular  music really hit the West  was  in the 80s.

If you look into African or world music sales, Nigerian, Malian, South African artistes have dominated. It’s anything but Ghana.

We should have hit the world in the 80s because we invented highlife but unfortunately, that did not happen.

The   other reason can be attributed to miming.  You   cannot go to any country in Europe or America and set up a miming band.  Nobody will listen to you.

What  they want is live music.  So this is the reason as far I am concerned.
