Ghanaian singer, songwriter, and producer Kuami Eugene has shared his favourite Ghanaian actors and actresses while expressing concern about the limited availability of local films on international streaming platforms.
Speaking in an interview with Kwame Dadzie and Doreen Avio on Hitz FM’s morning show, Daybreak Hitz, Kuami Eugene said, “I actually watch Ghanaian movies. It’s just that there isn’t much of it on Netflix or other streaming platforms. Most of them are in cinemas, and it’s quite difficult for me to go to cinemas. But I love Ghanaian movies.”
The Monica hitmaker named legendary actors Agya Koo, Santo, Lilwin, Kwaku Manu, Dr Likee, and Akrobeto as his favourite male actors. Among female actors, he mentioned Nana Ama McBrown and Vivian Jill Lawrence.
Kuami Eugene’s comments highlight a growing concern within Ghana’s film and entertainment industry. While local films enjoy strong followings in cinemas and on traditional television, their limited representation on global streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Showmax restricts their reach to wider audiences.
Many filmmakers and industry stakeholders have long called for better investment, marketing, and digital distribution strategies to improve access and visibility for Ghanaian films.
