Known for his unique country-music-like style of gospel music and interesting themes, Anim Yirenkyi for the past 26 years has won the hearts of music lovers across religions and ages in Ghana.In his recent interview with Giovanni Caleb on the 3FM Drive on Wednesday 30th October, 2024, the renowned gospel artiste, Mark Anim-Yirenkyi disclosed that he no longer believes in religious music, but believes there is good and bad music."The message of a music is something that must serve generations, so I believe in good music and bad music.
I don't believe in religious music again" he stated.While emphasizing the essence of music, Anim-Yirenkyi admonished "Governments have to motivate people to make music that actually reminds the people of their role in nation building".He pointed out that Africa is not able to do what needs to be done with the things it is endowed because of mislearning."I believe in 'nation-making' music.
The governments have to motivate people to make music that actually reminds people of their role to play in nation building because nobody is coming to do it for us.
We are born into a world that has everything; all we need is to know but if your teacher is the one you are learning from to come and conquer then the classroom should be your battlefield.""What Africans need now is a God that will open our eyes and tell us what to do with what we already have in order to get liberation.
