“…recently I listened to Stonebwoy, I think he’s got a good hit with Sheekena and Baafira, that’s also a good one. I like Ghanaian music so I listen to most of our artistes,” said president Mahama.
The President also praised other musicians in the country adding that “I like a lot of the old artistes; of course Kojo Antwi continues to be my favourite.”
“I like Gyedu Blay-Ambolley, KK Kabobo. I like the young ones too; I listen to some of the old young ones like Shasha Marley, Wuta, VIP. Recently I listened to Stonebwoy; I think he’s got a good hit with Sheekena and Baafira, that’s also a good one. I like Ghanaian music so I listen to most our artistes,” said president Mahama.
On movies, president Mahama lauded John Dumelo, Shirley Frimpong Manso and Jackie Appiah as well as Lilwin, Agya Koo, Kyeewaa among others.
Mahama said he watches some of the Ghanaian movies on his trips abroad.
“I like some of the movies by Shirley Frimpong Manso; she is an exceptional producer. Some of her movies are wonderful. I’ve watched Perfect Picture and the series Devil in the detail. I also like the Kejetia Hollywood and I like Lilwin, he is funny. I like Agya Koo. If you looked at some of the early movies, they looked amateurish but they are beginning to get their acts together. We have some serious actors there: Bernard Nyarko, Emelia Brobbey and others, Kyewaa will always make you laugh.”
“With the other urban movies, people like Jackie Appiah are doing very well. I like John Dumelo, I like it when he is acting. When I travel, I try to take some Ghanaian movie CDs so we don’t watch any foreign CDs on the presidential jet. We carry a pack along. Sometimes you have to fly for 7-8 hours and you can’t just sit doing nothing so we put Ghanaian movies and then we watch,” he added.
