»ADIKORO – Women in Music – Ghana«
Pop from the continent has entered the global stage and is going to stay there. At least, the men will. Because female acts are obviously disadvantaged in their representation.
For the documentary »ADIKORO – Women in Music – Ghana«, Afropop expert and Pop-Kultur curator Pamela Owusu-Brenyah travelled to Ghana to get to the bottom of the socio-economic conditions that block women’s access and visibility in the local and global pop business, together with artists and experts from the music business.
In Twi, »ADIKORO« means something like »equal,« and this is the title of Owusu-Brenyah’s debut: The grievance that it documents is to be resolved, encouraging female artists to follow their dreams of a music career.
The documentary is an important contribution to further research that will complement the film and the discourse regarding gender equality in the music business.
