Idrissa Akuna Elba, better known as Idris Elba around the world, has announced his desire to join up with young musicians from Africa.
“I will love to collaborate but because I’m making films and trying to tell stories I want to open hopeful gateways for a lot of artists to bring their music and have them in the films and tell stories about the origination of their music,” he remarked.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Opemsuo FM, the English actor of African origin stated that he would love to use African music in his films to tell a story.
“Whether it’s in a documentary or it’s in storytelling because all these young rappers are also actors they also have their own story to tell so that’s how I want to unpack,” he said sighted by Amansan Krakye of MyNewsGh.com
He continued “Again this is not specific to Ghana it is specific to Africa because Africa stories have always been told outside of Africa and it’s important we start telling our stories inside of Africa from Africa”.
British actor, Idris Elba has recently been spotted in Ghana with a visit to the Office of the President and also visited Manhyia Palace in the Asante Kingdom for the first Akwasidae of the year 2023.
