Ghanaian alternative rock band Dark Suburb has expressed enthusiasm for the resurgence of musical band series in the country.
The band's lead vocalist recently shared his thoughts on the importance of promoting music education in schools.
According to Dark Suburb, the government should prioritize teaching music in schools to foster creativity and talent development among young Ghanaians.
“I laud you for this show and I think we just have to keep encouraging government to teach music in our schools," he emphasized.
“Teaching music is not for only people who play, and so music education is essential for developing creativity, discipline, and critical thinking skills. By incorporating music into the curriculum, we can nurture the next generation of talented musicians and music industry professionals."
Dark Suburb's advocacy for music education aligns with their commitment to promoting band culture and collaborative music-making. By supporting initiatives that foster music education and appreciation, the band aims to contribute to the growth and development of Ghana's vibrant music scene.
Inspired by Western acts such as Coldplay and Linkin Park as well as by other African rock and metal acts, Dark Suburb is a band formed of five characters: lead singer Kankan Bizing, guitarists Shamba and Samory Toure, drummers Shaka Zulu and Alfanso, bassist Khama, and keyboardist Akhenaten.
With skeleton masks and rock music, some have pinned Dark Suburb as similar to acts like Black Sabbath but in truth, the band portrays a heroic and benevolent force with the skeleton as a symbol of equality.
