Tonight, we are celebrating the best of the best of Ghanaian and African music. The year 2018 has been a good music year for Ghana which included hosting the prestigious AFRIMMA where global music icons descended on Ghana to celebrate music.
Kwesi Arthur gave us another hope at the BETs and we also had Wizkid, Sean Paul, Davido and others refocusing their attention on the beauty of Ghanaian music.
That’s why it matters that those being celebrated tonight at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) recognize the honour they are receiving.
