Old Traditional Ghanaian Music Back To Life

The traditional Ghanaian music of the past (old school Ghanaian music) has been overtaken by the current hiplife/raglife but one online radio station is bringing back to life all the diverse traditional music of the past. It is interesting to hear one station promoting songs in Ga, Ewes, Hausa and other languages. For many people who yearn for their favorite old school Ghanaian music, the radion station has created a concept catering for everyone listener's needs.

Myghanaradio is a web base radio station that was launched in April 2006, to provide quality, innovative and diverse traditional music aimed at a target audience in the U.S.A., Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Caribbean.

"Our goal is to become the number one traditional music station and internet music store in the USA by serving those with a strong desire and passion for folklore, and indigenous music." said Wisdom Afenyo Kploanyi, the manager of Myghanaradio.

Since its establishment, Myghanaradio boasts an online music store that promotes and distributes traditional Ghanaian music through CDs, DVDs, Books, Clothing, Arts and Crafts, and other products that are produced either locally, in Ghana or in other West African countries. Mr. Afenyo ostentatiously guarantees that, all traditional music CDs sold on the Myghanaradio online store are digitally mastered for the highest fidelity.

Recently, Myghanaradio has implemented a custom-programming schedule that features top local recording artists and offers the listeners the option to preview the "playlist," database before the songs are streamed live, the ability to review the "playlist" and peruse the history of songs already played. "This is a cutting edge technology that addresses the need of our listeners who are interested in knowing what music is coming next." said Afenyo Kploanyi.

However, the most compelling attribute of Myghanaradio is the pricing. If you are looking to buy a CD or a DVD at the lowest possible price then visit: www.myghanaradio.com .
