Rock music on the radio in Ghana

Rock music has a significant presence in Ghana's music scene, with a growing number of local artists exploring the genre. The popularity of rock music in Ghana can be traced back to the 1960s and 70s when bands like The Sweet Beans and The Cutlass Dance Band were popular.

Currently, there are several rock bands in Ghana, such as Dark Suburb, Wutah, and CitiBoi, who are pushing the boundaries of the genre with their unique fusions of traditional Ghanaian rhythms and rock sounds.

Dark Suburb is perhaps the most popular rock band in Ghana, known for their theatrical performances and distinctive style of blending African rhythms with hard rock. They have won several awards, including the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards' Best Group of the Year in 2016.

Wutah is another Ghanaian rock band that has made waves in the music scene, particularly in the mid-2000s with their hit songs "Adonko" and "Big Dreams." They have also won multiple awards, including the Ghana Music Awards' Best Group of the Year in 2006.

As for radio stations, Y 107.9 FM is a popular radio station in Ghana that plays rock music. They have a program called "Rock City" that airs on Fridays from 9 pm to 12 am, where listeners can tune in to hear the latest rock music from local and international artists.
