Rocky Dawuni Speaks On Why He Joined RED
I have been blessed to emerge as one of Ghana and Africa's musical voices for some years now. Every year, since 2001, during the Independence Day of Ghana, I organize and play a huge concert called "Rocky Dawuni’s Independence Splash" in Ghana's capital city of Accra.
The concert attracts thousands of people and has been broadcast nationally in Ghana to millions. One of the cornerstones of my artistic vision has been the importance of using my artistic voice as a viable tool for social change and development.
This year, 2007, commemorates Ghana's 50th year of attaining independence from colonial rule. As part of preparations for my concert, I partnered with UNICEF and the Carter Center to spread the critical message of clean water and sanitation.
I traveled all over the northern parts of Ghana meeting chiefs, community leaders, politicians and the masses while shedding light on this issue through dialogue and exploring possible solutions.
