The creative arts industry needs a representative in parliament – Obour

Musician turned politician Bice Osei Kuffour (alias Obour) says the NPP parliamentary primaries for the Asante Akyem Constituency was  well fought, after losing to the incumbent MP, Kojo Asante Boateng.

In an interview with Doreen Avio, Obour stated that he did well as a first time contender especially since he was close to winning against someone who is more experienced.

Okyeame Kwame came to Juaso and after the election, he said ‘bro you have won’. I knew I won, because, I was into this election and was fighting against an incumbent MP who is slightly more experienced. He has the support of the constituency executives, the support of the MCE and all the factors fighting against us but still, he only beat us with 64 votes.

“To me, that is a win and victory because this is my first time in the contest. Some of my delegates were suspended and if they were allowed to vote, hopefully, there would be a different story,” he recounted.

According to Obour, his representation in Parliament would have been a victory for the creative arts industry.

“We are not broken hearted, what it means is that we have four more years to prepare to win the seat. And definitely with their support, we can win the seat. The future is that the creative arts industry needs a representative in parliament. The broader creative arts sector needs a voice on the floor of parliament.

“We are not dwindling and stopping until that seat in parliament has been secured for the broader arts industry,” he added.

Obour, who has been away from the music scene for some time now said it will not be surprising if he drops another single, but, at the appropriate time.

Being a musician is not just about performing. If as I sit now, people still enjoy my performance that is my music. Day in day out, I write some new stuff.”

“I am sure at the appropriate time when there is room, energy, the mood and the peace of mind and everything is ready, I wouldn’t be surprised if I drop another banger. While my songs are played, they are performed.” He said

BLESS SOWAH 1

It is remarkable and exciting to observe the re-sprouting of the Ghanaian urban gospel industry. The versatility and creativity attached to the works of the artistes involved is just mind bugling.

The genre, which from onset was described by many as ungodly due to few tweaks in lyrics and rhythm, has without exaggeration, become one of the most accepted and listened to genres not only in Ghana but globally.

In a detailed interview, the dancer and singer reminisced how he nearly fell prey to the devil and what this song means to his life and career.

“ After winning the National Dance Championship in 1990 and 1995, I became addicted to drugs.

Whiles battling and seeking solutions to this canker of addiction, my mother walked to me one day and asked me to connect with God, else, I would not be able to enjoy life as I want.

I heeded her advice and, while on that task, I promised God if he could help deliver me from this shame, I will sing and shout to his glory. Thankfully, God fulfilled his part of the bargain and it is time to fulfill mine” he said.

jump around, the title for his latest joint sinks so well  and tells the Musician’s ordeal not only in rhythm, but captivating lyrics that elevates.

Although not a boxed musician, this gospel tune aims at encouraging believers to praise and give thanks in whatever situation they find themselves. With a background as a dancer, Samuel Adjei Sowah  A.K.A Bless Sowah with his producer, Oshogbo complemented the lyrics with a danceable and groovy rhythm, to complete the fun. It touches on relatable day to day issues and the importance of drawing close to God.
