The Australian High Commissioner to Ghana, His Excellency Gregory Andrews has said Afro-pop singer Noella Wiyaala remains his favourite Ghanaian musician.
Speaking to a journalist on the YouTube-based talkshow – ‘Talk To Solomon,’ the High Commissioner said: “Actually my favourite Ghanaian musician continues to be Wiyaala. I have to say. But, I also quite like some of the older music from the 1970s and 80s; the afro-pop and jazz as well.”
His Excellency Gregory Andrews indicated that he would not be surprised if his son enjoys Ghana’s rap music since he (the son) is a diehard fan of American rapper Eminem.
