Kwaw Kese might just not take this lightly as this news comes from a
well respected radio presenter based in the Garden City, Kumasi whom
Kwaw Kese has been a close friend to, cherished and respected all
along. Speaking on Kumasi based radio station Kessben 93.3 fm's Music
Zone programme host by Peter Osei Kesse (Mr. BoneZ) in an interview
which sought Franky Taylor's view on current trends of music promotion
by music artists and their relations with radio presenters and DJs,
the host of African Express on Fox fm in Kumasi disclosed he felt it
was disrespectful for artists to send songs for promotion via
whatsapp, ask radio presenters to log on to musical websites to
download them or tweet links to download. Citing a related example of
how artists normally respected radio presenters and would do anything
to have this songs played, Franky Taylor described how the man of the
street, Kwaw Kese used to clean his shoes just to get him play his
songs. "Kwaw Kese would in those days clean and polish my shoes just
to get me play his songs so why would an artist ask me to download his
songs via whatsapp? That is disrespectful". Although he might be right
as I share the same opinion as a radio presenter and radio DJ, did he
really need to say this to make a point? Well, comments reserved. What
do you think?
