'We're our own competition' - GG Brass Band speaks on future of brass music
GG Brass Band says its focus is not on competing with others but on building its own identity and pushing the boundaries of brass music in Ghana, at a time when many creative groups are battling for visibility and relevance. The group believes originality and consistency will define the future of brass music in the country. Benjamin Amoyi said, reflecting on the doubts and criticism often directed at young people pursuing music and other creative paths, "They were discouraged by the words of people."
Mr. Amoyi stated, "I see bands on social media, but I can't really say what sets us apart. We are our own competition." The band's philosophy is centred on self-improvement, growth, and staying true to its vision rather than constantly comparing itself to others. Traditionally, brass bands have been associated with church activities, parades, and ceremonial events.
GG Brass Band is attempting to change that narrative by blending traditional brass elements with modern performance styles and collaborations. Mr. Amoyi believes the future of brass music in Ghana depends on innovation, originality, and the willingness of groups to evolve with changing trends. For GG Brass Band, the goal is to carve its own path and allow the work to speak for itself.
