GHANA: The president of the Musicians Union of Ghana called on Ghanaian musicians and music fans to embrace jazz music.


At the launch of the International Jazz Day Festival in Accra last week, the president of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bice Osei Kuffour aka Obour, called on Ghanaian musicians and music fans to embrace jazz music.

According to him, jazz music encouraged artistic innovation, improvisation, new forms of expression and inclusion of traditional music forms into new ones, adding that it also stimulated intercultural dialogue and empowered young people from marginalized societies.

In a cultural sense, Syncos music, which is being recognized worldwide, is more important than just music, and will soon take over from jazz music as a number of renowned music stars have adopted it.

Syncos music is an audible and living representation of African history, philosophies, ethics, spoken literature, moral values, and social code of conduct, religious beliefs, political thought and aesthetic principles coupled with the emergence of a global village.
