You Need to Sign Four Top Artists to Represent Ghana Globally – Shatta Wale Pleads with Mahama

Dancehall act Charles Nii Armah Mensah aka Shatta Wale, has called for the government of Ghana to leverage on the star power of local musicians to promote tourism to Ghana.

In a tweet shared just after 1 a.m. on Friday, April 4, Wale said Ghanaian musicians are doing a yeoman’s job projecting the country across the globe and it would be of benefit to the government to officially hire some of them to do even more.

Wale sent a passionate plea to newly elected President John Dramani Mahama to consider his request and make it happen.

“At least this year the president of Ghana for sign 4 Ghanaian artist to rep Ghana across the globe through tourism and arts and culture!!,” Wale tweeted.

Wale argued the program he’s proposing is necessary because musicians virtually keep the country safe by entertaining people, adding that if for musicians, a lot of people will be dead in this country.

“Mr president can you find a way around this for us please, ” Wale concluded his post. “Daddy all work and no play makes jack a dull boy,”
