  • Popular Music in Ghana: Women and the Changing Perspectives on Gender and Sexuality
    POPULAR MUSIC IN GHANA: WOMEN AND THE CHANGING PERSPECTIVES ON GENDER AND SEXUALITY A thesis submitted to the College of the Arts of Kent State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts By Samuel Boateng May, 2016 Thesis written by Samuel Boateng B.F.A., University of Ghana, Legon, 2013 M.A., Kent State University, 2016 Approved by ________________________________________________________ Kazadi wa MuKuna, Ph.D., Advisor _________________________________________________________ Ralph Lorenz, Ph.D., Interim Director, School of Music _________________________________________________________ John Crawford-Spinelli, Ed. D., Dean, College of the Arts BOATENG, SAMUEL, M.A., May 2016 POPULAR MUSIC IN GHANA: WOMEN AND THE CHANGING PERSPECTIVES ON GENDER AND SEXUALITY (pp. 119) Director of Thesis: KAZADI wa MUKUNA The traditional concepts of gender and sexuality permeate several socio- cultural spheres in Ghana that include religion, education, and popular music. This study shows that female popular musicians in Ghana are challenging these culturally accepted perspectives of gender roles and sexuality in the country, and that they are also presenting a different narrative about women and womanhood that go contrary to those presented by their male counterparts. The study demonstrates that some selected female musicians accomplish this challenge through their song lyrics and music videos. Chapter one contains an introduction to the study and a general overview of the history of popular music in Ghana. Chapter two focuses on the implications of gender and sexuality in Ghana and concludes with a brief analysis of songs to show the images of women presented by male musicians. Chapter three deals with the social and musical roles of women, the gradual rise of women in the popular music scene of Ghana, and it concludes with discussions on some of the challenges faced by women musicians in the country.

  • A Contemporary Perspective of the Role of Women in Popular Music in Ghana: a Case of Les Femmes All Women Band
    American Journal of Multidisciplinary Research & Development (AJMRD) Volume 2, Issue 7 (July- 2020), PP 09-18 ISSN: 2360-821X www.ajmrd.com Research Paper Open Access A Contemporary Perspective of the Role of Women in Popular Music in Ghana: A Case of Les Femmes All Women Band 1 2 3 Augusta Arko-Mensah, John Francis Annan, Sita Naa Kordey Korley 1Lecturer, Department of Music Education University of Education, Winneba, Ghana 2Lecturer, Department of Music Education University of Education, Winneba, Ghana 3Graduate Student, Department of Music Education University of Education, Winneba, Ghana *Corresponding author: Augusta Arko-Mensah ABSTRACT: - The image of women in the past has always been stuck at the background appearing as silhouette against their male counterparts. This can be verified in the Ghanaian popular music scene, as well as the traditional set up, as few women are usually seen daring in this male dominated area or even barred from taking any major role in traditional music performances. However, women are slowly changing the perception of society and reinforcing the belief that they can rise to the occasion when given the opportunity. This study sought to identify and bring to the fore, through interviews, one women ensemble that has braced itself up against societal indifference in the popular music arena. The study also highlighted the profiles of the women performers as well as their achievements as a group. It is realized that women in the arts and other fields of endeavours are equally good as their male counterparts. Keywords: contemporary, popular music, traditional music, Les Femme I. INTRODUCTION Over the years, popular music has undergone a tremendous evolution.
