Fight Politicians On Corruption – Kubolor Tells Musicians

Ghanaian-Romanian musician, film director and cultural icon, Emmanuel Owusu-Bonsu, known by his stage name ‘Wanlov the Kubolor’, has tasked musicians in the country to use their talents to empower leaders to end to corruption, just as music duo, Fokn Bois, is doing with its latest album ‘Afrobeat LOL’.

Speaking in an interview with Root Eye on GH Entertainment on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he said African musicians have over the years used Afrobeat to only sing above love, sex, and women, and noted that it was about time we changed the trend.

“…We have the issue of corruption increasing in our countries, we have ills ongoing in our governments, there is kidnapping with families grieving for their children who have been kidnapped, and yet, we keep hearing songs about the breast of women, love and sexually-suggestive songs. We can use music to address these challenges and call on authorities to address them,” he said.

Kubolo hinted of plans to release a new song titled, ‘Red Card’ to hit hard at the government over some of the challenges confronting the nation.

“The fight against corruption is not for the NCCE alone, neither is it the job for CHRAJ or other Civic Society Organisations, but one for each and every citizen of this country.

“When you and I decide to become ambassadors to speak against corruption, that is the only time we can see progress in our fight against the canker”, he added, stressing that, when musicians use their craft to address issues affecting people, it will help create awareness and also  help find solutions to the said challenges.
