The music business can play a part in building an economy
Everybody knows Ghana is blessed with gold, cocoa and now oil, but one of its greatest resources is still neglected and untapped: the creative talents of its songwriters, composers, and bands. If Ghana recognised, developed, and supported this talent, it could become a big source of wealth.

• Nashville in Africa: Unchaining Ghana's Melodies - My company ADEC helped organise a music industry cluster (for economic development) in kwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. We used Nashville as an excellent model for development of the music industry. Nashville is also my hometown, so I know something about it. Nashville was a financial centre in the 1920s (known then as the "Wall Street of the South") and an insurance company there owned a radio station that promoted the music. The company wanted to make money and saw the music as a cash cow. - Tuesday 29 March 2011 - 14:41
