Ghanaian musician Atongo Zimba has shared his thoughts on what can be done to promote and preserve Ghanaian culture.
In a recent interview on E Vibes with Becky, he noted that although Ghana has rich culture, unnecessary competition, has robbed the country off its fortunes.
He highlighted how highlife music, which originated in Ghana, was embraced and popularised by Nigerians, while Ghanaians themselves often criticize and downplay their own heritage.
“Highlife came from Ghana, Nigerians took over it and it went viral. We keep on condemning everything about us. When someone is climbing a coconut tree, we keep on complaining so the coconut is there and nobody can get it. This is our problem. This attitude of ours must change so we can build Ghana and take it to the next level," he said.
He therefore emphasised the need for a change in attitude, encouraging Ghanaians to focus on building each other up rather than tearing each other down.
"Everybody must do their thing, focus on it and not criticise. People used to criticise me because I play on the streets because I was very strong and thought I could carry things. We are not doing well because we like to compete with each other,” he stated.
The E Vibes show strives to evoke memories through the setting of the interview and their rise, the memories they made on their way to the top with the hope that their unique stories will help shape the younger generation.

E Vibes is different from your regular day-to-day interviews. This show is carefully designed to provide some quality time with selected personalities.
Since taking off in November 2020, some of the biggest global icons in music, movies and the political space have been featured on the show by the exciting Becky who simply 'got the Vibes'.
