‘Ghanaians’ Love For Dancehall Is Killing Highlife’ – Bisa Kdei

Renowned contemporary High-life artiste Bisa Kdei has  expressed great worries over the degenerating nature of Ghana’s High-life.

Bisa believes that the massive love for dancehall genre by Ghanaians is what is killing the Highlife genre.

High-life music genre is the heartbeat of Ghana music. Thus, Ghanaians gave birth to the this genre, therefore, there’s the need for them to put strategic measures in place to protect and develop rapidly the indigenous genre.

According to the ‘Mansa’ hitmker, Ghanaians love for foreign music genres especially Dancehall is a contributing factor to its gradual collapse.

Bisa was peaking in an interview with Emcee Bebe, host of Entertainment Xtra on Cape 93.3FM.

“Highlife is struggling as far as Ghanaians continue to give much attention to foreign genres especially Dancehall.

We just have to believe in ourselves that Highlife is from us and push higher the indigenous music genre. One thing is that it’s only Highlife that’s putting Ghana out there,”  he said.

Besides, the “Brother Brother” crooner noticed that Ghanaian artistes who are doing High-life are more recognized in Europe than those who are representing other genres.

To him, you (Ghanaian artsites) can’t sell Dancehall or Hip-Hop better than the Europeans because they’re the originators.

“The Europeans want to listen to indigenous music and instruments comparably to Dancehall among others if you’re a Ghanaian artiste. How can a Ghanaian artiste sell Dancehall music better than Jamaicans?” Bisa Kdei quizzed.

Bisa is currently out with a new single ‘Biribi Nti’ off his Highlife Konnect album.
