It is a process which enhances consciousness and unifies and uplifts both the artist and the listeners. T communicate in this universal o language the artist must be a giver, and speaker of truth. He must trust his inner self and devote himself to his work in a ongoing struggle to share its knowledge and his art. The artist is a channel through which energy and light flows. His music is a reflection of himself - his spirituality, his life experience, his never ending growth as an artist and is supported by the rhythmic flow of energy which is a gift of nature. For this expression to keep time with flow of life there can be no room for greed or competition which will only cripple the artist's ability to communicate, to touch this listeners. In order to set people free with his music, he must know inner freedom. He must strive to sustain contact with the absolute and he must always be a giver through his art - a giver of life and love. - KWAKU DADDEY, Ghanaian percussionist
