Members of the Music Council of Ghana have announced, their planned demonstration over what they term “sensitive issues” relating to the industry, will come off on Thursday, August 14, 2014.
The demonstration was originally fixed for
Thursday, July 31 but was changed following a meeting by leadership of
the council and the Greater Accra Police Command.
The Council is made of affiliate bodies such
as Veteran Musicians Association of Ghana (VEMAG), Association of Music
Rights Owners (AMRO), Musicians and Dancers Association of Ghana
(MUDAG), Professional Musicians Association of Ghana (PROMAG) and the
Composers and Authors of Music Association of Ghana (CAMAG).
The Council says the protest is to enable its
members register their “displeasure about the current impasse in the
music industry including the current GHAMRO Court Ruling and the
Formation of the Creative Industry Council by the Ministry of Tourism,
Culture and the Creative Arts and other sensitive issues”.
Protesters will converge at the GHAMRO office
at Adabraka, behind Teachers Hall in Accra at 7am and march through the
traditional approved routes – Kwame Nkrumah Avenue to Adabraka, through
Farisco Traffic Lights to TUC and end up at Hearts of Oak Park where a
petition will be presented to a representative from the presidency.
