Osman Sherifatu Gunu

Sherifa Gunu is a traditional Ghanaian musician and cultural advocate known for her efforts to promote and preserve Ghana's rich musical heritage. She has expressed concern over the negative perceptions of traditional music, which she argues are rooted in colonial attitudes. Gunu believes that Ghanaian artists should embrace their cultural identity rather than shun traditional music, especially as neighboring Nigeria successfully promotes its own cultural sounds. With several albums to her name, including 'Salamatu' and 'African Woman', Gunu has made a significant impact in the music industry while encouraging authenticity and cultural pride among younger musicians.
