DELLA HAYES, the leader of Dzesi, the Women of Colour Band, the only all-women band in Ghana, has called Ghanaian musicians to desist from the use of drugs and other substances that have the potential of destroying them in the future.

Della Hayes, who made the call at a ceremony organized at La Beach to celebrate the first anniversary of the band, said “it would be bad for a star who is seen by many as role model, to indulge and hence abuse his status by using drugs and other practices which can bring his reputation down”.

Dzesi, the only all women band in Sub-Saharan Africa, is made up of Della Hayes, Abena Ampomaah, Feehi Ofoli , Sita Korley, Judith Agbottah, Sarah Akyee, and Sarah Owusu.

According to the leader, the group has put together a new musical collection, hippidippip. She explained that the group plays all kinds of music; be it R&B, jazz, funk and Ghanaian highlife.

The group, she said has been in the limelight, performing at many important locations, including Alliance Francaise, the Jazz club of Alisa hotel, Oak Plaza, Citizen Kofi, among others.

The Women of Colour Band were very grateful to Woodin for donating 14 pieces of Woodin cloths for their celebration. To crown it all, a well-decorated cake was cut. The band is expected to perform at Alliance Francaise on June 20, 2010.
