Tunde Akinsanmi, a former member of music band, Styl Plus, has urged music promoters to try to focus on other genres of music aside Afrobeats.
Tunde noted that there are several other music genres with lots of talents and content in the Nigerian music scene that needs attention and exposure.
He said this during an interview with The Nation recently.
According to him, “I would like to listen to radio and know that radio is not about Afrobeats, there are other genres of music so they shouldn’t let other styles of music die because some are getting popular,” he said.
“I’ve been all over the world and I have seen how people stream music. They play the new and old on both radio and tv side and also the show promoters as well shouldn’t just make it about people that are just coming up but people that also paved the way.
The more you patronise them the longer their work is gonna last and the longevity of their careers but once you say these guys are old keep them back, eventually they will get tired and once they do they won’t make music for you guys anymore.”
