Rocky Dawuni on why African artists need more local support

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Ghanaian singer Rocky Dawuni鈥檚 album Branches of the Same Tree was last week No 10 on the Billboard Reggae chart. His music, according to Ziggy Marley, 鈥渋s a creative inspiration that has no boundaries.鈥 It reflects his wide interests, from afrobeat and reggae to funk and samba. His distinctive sound is making waves internationally but it has not been quite the same in Ghana. Dawuni, who is based in the US and is also a humanitarian activist, told 麻豆社 Africa's Akwasi Sarpong why he thinks this is happening.
