“Why does somebody have to own Azonto? Why should there be a landlord for Azonto? It is for all of us. There is nothing like Azonto landlord or Azonto land guard. We created it for Ghanaians. So I don’t think anybody can sit anywhere and claim a music genre,” E.L stated.
He stressed that music genre comes from culture and it belongs to a group of people.
