Togbe Edinam Ansah, a musician, has slammed the scramble by groups within the creative industry to catch the eye of government and its representatives.
He said these groupings, normally formed for convenience, would have little impact on the development of the sector.
Togbe Ansah, a former executive member of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), said creative people needed strong associations whose leaders had good knowledge of the problems of members across the country.
He said the biggest problem facing the music industry in Ghana at the moment was ineffective copyright administration and that it appeared organized pirating of creative works was as big as the creative industry.
He said as a result many musicians who come out with productions were unsure about revenue as they watch helplessly as their works were pirated.
On the Volta Region, Togbe Ansah conceded show-business was dull and music productions by artistes from the region hardly popping up on the charts.
He said music production was capital intensive and that musicians in the region needed a lot of financial and technical support to be relevant to the market.
Togbe Ansah said time was up for the many intellectuals in the field of music in the region to come together and contrive ways to build a bridge between their intellectual qualities and contemporary music industry in the region.
He also called on business people to invest in the establishment of modern recording studios in the region.
