"Any space at all" can be used for a musical event, Sena Dagadu has encouraged Ghanaian musicians.

"Creativity is boundless," the Ghanaian-Hungarian music star added.

"You can have this room [broadcast studio] and with the right idea, you can make this into a sweet, intimate concert with 15 people and a live stream which will blow everybody's mind," she said.

"Everything is doable if you have the mind to do it."

Sena Dagadu, visiting her country of birth, as per her annual ritual, spoke to Prince Benjamin (PB) on the Class Morning Show on Class 91.3 FM.

"Honestly, the streets, the markets. You could take a market and do a concert there and have, I don't know, the Makola festival, and have a duo playing in one of the stalls, and have a DJ playing on another side. You can do this anywhere. Honestly and truly speaking, I believe music can be played anywhere at all in the world.

"You just need electricity, [even though] it can also be a problem," the Morning Light hitmaker emphasised.

The issue of venues, nationwide, for creative arts events has become topical in Ghana. In the background are promises from government to build ultra-modern event centres and in the foreground are deteriorating venues like the National Theatre and Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), among others.

On February 9, 2024, rapper and singer-songwriter Sena Dagadu and producer and singer-songwriter Fonye Hydraulix released their second collaboration, Easy. The Afropop number captures two lovers in an intimate conversation about the lows of their relationship as they assure each other of working through them to the highs.

The pair's first collaboration was a pulsating Hiphop number called Hyperdrive, released in August 2023.
