Veteran Ghanaian musician Ben Brako has justified a photo of him and his wife that received backlash on social media last year.
The couple was seen huddled in semi-nude fashion, claiming to project “the beauty, artistry and African high culture that it truly represents”.
The backlash from fans was probably because of the respect many have for the legendary highlife artiste.
But speaking to Johnnie Hughes on TV3’s New Day on Thursday, wife of the musician Dr Efua Brako said she found nothing wrong with the picture since the exposure of legs, arms and other parts of the body cannot be different from exposing the abdomen.
She explained that it was an idea by the two of them and they are okay with it.
The Mawie M’agro dzi hitmaker backed his wife and said there is no straightjacket way of dressing for artistes like him.
For him, efforts should rather go into changing of mindsets like singing the national anthem in Twi, for instance.
He also lashed out at successive governments for failure to take the creative arts industry seriously enough.
