Alternative Ghanaian musician, Worlasi, is sceptical about corporate Ghana showing interest in his upcoming show, titled The Angry African Concert.

By his own admission, the show which is inspired by his latest album, The Angry African, is a targeted attack on successive governments for failing the Ghanaian people.

He believes companies will be scared to spend their money on the concert. According to him, many institutions he contacted for sponsorship for his upcoming concert ended up disinterested after reading the content of the proposal.

“The angry African: I don’t think anyone is going to contact us because we are going directly for the government. Even now we are trying to do a show on December 23rd, and still we’ve not had any sponsors yet because when they read the proposal that I wrote, they see where it’s coming from, and because the youth is angry, they want to express themselves, so we want to create a space where you’ll come and jam and air out our frustrations. Nobody wants to be part of it because I’m going to be on stage talking about all the things that our government failed to do, and so companies are scared to support things like this,” he said.

The Angry African album is a collection of songs that express the frustration of the ordinary Ghanaian.

The album has six songs - decorated monkey, how many times, sleeping bear, soul eaters, balance, and we no go gree.

Ghana's economy is still troubled. The chorus among many Ghanaians is that the political elites have failed the nation.

From bad roads and the impact of illegal mining to the pain of broken promises, Afrobeat musician Worlasi models the views and frustrations of dejected people into his latest body of work, an EP titled 'The Angry African'.

Despite Worlsai's inability to secure sponsorships for his concert, the alternative musician says he is never perturbed. He vowed to organise the show for likeminded citizens to express their strong reservations about the poor governance, corruption, stealing, illegal mining, and cronyism plaguing the country.

"It's not always about the money; it’s about expressing yourself as an artiste and when you express it to the extent that the people around you are also expressing the same thing, everybody will connect to it, and it will live forever,” he added.

Speaking to Amelley Djosu on Joy Prime’s Celeb Biz, the multi-talented hitmaker said his upcoming show, The Angry African Concert, is a perfect platform for the youth to vent their frustrations and anger towards the ills in society.

“I understand that they do not want to be part of it. There are partners I’ve been working with; when you ask them, they say, 'Nah, I can’t be part of this; it’s political; I’m scared’ and nobody wants to be a part of something that is going to voice out the youth’s anger and frustration because the government in power is not doing well, because these government people too are helping other restaurants and businesses thrive because they’ve built restaurants; they’re doing private things for themselves that people are actually managing. So those people cannot come and say I’d do this with you because you can’t bite the hand of the one that feeds you,” he explained.

As far as the political elite will continue to plunge their hands into the state purse, Worlasi said he is not backing down anytime soon from using the power of music to address societal challenges.
