Rocky Dawuni
Legendary musician, Rocky Dawuni, has downplayed the impact of politicians in the life of the people when he made a comparison between a musician and a politician.
According to him, artistes and record producers are way more relevant in the life of the people than politicians.
In an interview on Y 107.9 FM, the two-time Grammy award nominee described musicians as the heartbeat of the people and politicians as temporal individuals in people’s lives.
“Musicians are more important than politicians, yes because musicians are the heartbeat of the people. Musicians bring the story of our people to others. Politicians are here for four years and they are gone, with musicians their music stays forever,” he said.
He added that musicians were “investments for the future” while politicians were “temporal investments”.
He was herefore of the opinion that everyone should appreciate the artistes and record producers by patronizing their works to support them.
