Ghanaian alternative rock band, Dark Suburb, has voiced their excitement about the increasing popularity of musical band series in the country.
The band’s lead vocalist recently spoke out about the significance of music education in schools, emphasizing the importance of nurturing creativity and talent among young Ghanaians.
Dark Suburb believes that the government should prioritize incorporating music into the school curriculum to promote creativity, discipline, and critical thinking skills.
They argue that music education is not just for those who play instruments, but essential for the development of future musicians and music industry professionals.
The band’s advocacy for music education is in line with their mission to support band culture and collaborative music-making.
By endorsing initiatives that promote music education and appreciation, Dark Suburb aims to contribute to the growth and development of Ghana’s vibrant music scene.
Inspired by Western acts like Coldplay and Linkin Park, as well as African rock and metal bands, Dark Suburb is a unique band comprised of lead singer Kankan Bizing, guitarists Shamba and Samory Toure, drummers Shaka Zulu and Alfanso, bassist Khama, and keyboardist Akhenaten.
While some may compare them to acts like Black Sabbath, the band’s use of skeleton masks symbolizes equality and portrays them as a heroic and benevolent force in the music industry.
Overall, Dark Suburb is dedicated to promoting music education and collaboration in Ghana, hoping to inspire the next generation of talented musicians and industry professionals.
