Which Industry Has Seen Amazing Growth? The Ghana Movie Industry or the Music Industry?

05/14/2014 11:46 am

Over the years, we’ve seen significant improvements in both our Ghanaian movie industry and the music industry—though we are still on the hope road for that day when we can look at things and say, we’ve truly arrived.

Few years ago, the movie industry had diverse stories to tell but the actors, directors and even equipment to be used in telling these stories were a MESS, and that gave us different faces of sub-standard productions. Even today, we still have such sub-standard productions, but things are a fairly better than those years I am talking about.

Similarly, the Ghana music industry has its own dark days with poor music videos and sound quality being the hallmark of that era. Ironically, we seem to have had some good songs (I mean lyrically) during these dark days when we did not have up-to-date studios, sound engineers and production equipment.

Ghana’s former President His Excellency John Agyekum Kuffour’s second son has also added his voice to the fact that, the country’s movie industry has the potential of being lucrative, if the needed investment and support are shifted to the direction and benefit of the industry.
Speaking to journalists after screening of the latest Ghanaian movie ‘Wrong Target’ to the media, Mr. Agyekum Kuffour said it is only when people show interest and offer their support to the growing industry that, it has a potential of being lucrative.
Describing the industry as ‘growing’ and doing well lately, he said he hopes to bring attention to the industry especially as a son of the former Head of State.
“I can’t stop being a child of a politician. I didn’t choose that. I was born into the family and it’s been a blessing. So if my presence here with that background [as the son of the former president] will help the industry, then so be it”, he said confidently.
Mr. Edward Agyekum Kuffour who appears to have developed a sudden knack for movies said the current crop of actors and crew memebers in the industry are doing marvelous.
Having shot couple of movies which are yet to be released on the market, he recollected how his journey to the movie industry all began and how he got a cameo role in the movie ‘Wrong Target’.
He said as a new actor, he was also auditioned before being handed the role to play as a friend and old school mate of John Dumelo.

Being a make-up artist is one of the most exciting jobs around. Aside that, it’s a job that offers you the opportunity to jump from one event to the other and also work on people like musicians, actors, politicians and models.
Make-up artists that work on such individuals are named celebrity make-up artists.
A young Ghanaian make-up artist, Lydia Gladys Ashitey, has launched her ‘LEEDY A XPRESSIONS’, a hair stylist and make-up artist company based in Accra.

Nana Ekua Aka ‘Mzbel’ Makes A Sudden Jump Into Movies

Information circulating around has it that, the “16 years” hit musician has made a sudden jump into movies to rival the likes of Jackie Appiah, Nadia Buari, Martha Ankomah, Yvonne Okoro and the rest.

The exodus of musicians into the world of movies is not a new concept in the world of Entertainment. In the western world, certain musicians double as actors and the vice versa. However, Mzbel has been silent with musical hits for sometimes and I cannot remember any major hit that she has been able to pull out in recent years.

This therefore bothers my thinking as to why an already established and doing well musician like Mzbel would not concentrate on the musical art to bring out hit songs but would suddenly jump-start with movies, an industry saturated with talentless individuals.
