Music has been an integral part of the Ghanaian culture and since the 20 th century, Highlife music has been Ghana's biggest and one of the world's most important music genres.
Looking at our current list of music exports, can we say highlife is still Ghana's identity on the music market? Why are our top music exports not pushing the Highlife agenda but are experimenting with foreign genres?
On this episode of Showbiz University, King Kwaku Mensa sits with multiple award winning Ghanaian producer Appietus and musician cum broadcaster Okyeame Quophie to answer the question, "what is Ghana's biggest music genre currently?" and "Why are our musicians chasing other genres instead of building theirs?"
