Ghanaian musician Yaw Black of Tv3 mentors fame has stated that negligence towards the tourism sector in the central region is leading to the death of many talented musicians. The musician, who is known for his soulful compositions, made the statement during an interview on the spotlight show on Kofy Jesse Tv.
According to Yaw Black, the central region of Ghana is home to many talented musicians who are struggling to make ends meet due to the lack of investment in the tourism sector. He noted that the region, which is known for its rich cultural heritage, has not been able to leverage its musical talents to attract tourists and generate revenue.
“Many talented musicians in the central region are dying in silence because there is no support from the government and other stakeholders in the tourism industry,” Yaw Black said. “The tourism sector has the potential to create employment opportunities for the youth and generate revenue for the region, but this potential is not being harnessed.”
Yaw Black’s statement has sparked a debate among stakeholders in the tourism industry in the central region. Some have argued that the government should provide more funding for the sector to enable musicians and other creatives to showcase their talents and attract tourists. Others have suggested that private sector investment is needed to develop the industry.
