Innocent Kuti further that back in sierra Leone music was passing around fast because the music was not assessable everywhere and in some areas, people will only be able to listen to music on the radio or during shows. And this makes the demand for music to be high back then. He said
Innocent on not doing too many shows said he is more relaxed now because with technology now one can get money from other avenues with your music. And stating that organising a show involves too much pressure.
