Elivava ~ Ghanaian Musician
Veteran Ghanaian singer, songwriter and choreographer, Tina Mensah, better known by her stage name Elivava(The African Gold), has revealed that Ghana is losing its identity on the global music space because our musicians are copying and sounding too foreign at the detriment of our traditional music.
Elivana had an exclusive interview with Candyman Lucas Mensah live on Nitro Avenue on Asaase Radio 100.3 FM Cape Coast
In an interview with Candymann Lucas Mensah on Asaase radio, Elivava revealed that other African countries like Nigeria, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso and others are doing well globally because they’re still sticking to their traditional music.
“Our music is not portraying Ghana. We are diverting and sounding too foreign. Ghana is a home for learning that’s why Fela and Orlando Julius came around to learn our highlife. Nigerians copied our highlife but they added their native and traditional music to it and made it unique.” she stated.
