Ghanaian Gospel music artist, Selina Boateng, has stated that Twi songs are not recognized on the international scene and are therefore difficult to perform because of the Twi language's low market value.

She backed her claim with a scenario where she was booked by a Nigerian pastor abroad just to sing her hit song “Alpha & Omega” and they were loving but she decided to chip in her other hit Twi songs but she was prompted to stop because the crowd could not follow her music. 

The award-winning gospel artist in an inclusive interview on No.1ShowBiz with Nana Kwame Gyan on an Accra-based No.1FM 105.3 explained that songs sang in Twi languages do not make much impact abroad.

Selina Boateng also claimed that her ability to sing in English and mixed with French made a path for her to tour many European countries such as France, Belgium, Norway, and Germany even though that’s not their language but because she sings in English they all loved it.

She, then, took the opportunity to thank her boss, Mr. Charles Sarpong for encouraging her to be different by singing in English and French. She is also encouraging her colleague Gospel singers to start singing in English and possibly French so they can make greater impacts.
