Ghanaian or Nigerian, it’s all African music to me

Veteran Ghanaian musician Samini has shared his approach to making his music reach global audiences.

Speaking with Doreen Andoh on the Cosmopolitan Mix on Joy FM, he explained how he views music across the continent.

“I look at Africa as a united group of people. So Nigerian music or Ghanaian music is African music to me,” Samini said.

“Music from North America and music from South America is music from there.

“In that case, if I want my music to blow in certain territories, I shouldn’t have a problem when someone else’s music is blowing in other territories.”

He continued, “What I have to do is to look at the blueprint they are using that is helping them to go beyond their borders and be heard everywhere, so that I can apply that to what I am doing.”
