The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has announced that the Gospel
Artiste of the Year at this year’s Ghana Music Awards will drive home a
Kantanka model vehicle manufactured by Kristo Asafo founder, Apostle
Kojo Safo.
This is the third year that MUSIGA, in collaboration with Midland
Savings and Loans, will be presenting a car prize to a winner at the
VGMA.
The event is arguably the biggest event on the Ghanaian entertainment
calendar and it attracts the movers and shakers of Ghanaian society.
Two years ago R2Bees won the car prize as Artiste of the Year and last
year, Joey B received the car prize as New Artiste of the Year.
Midland Saving and Loans CEO Micheal Adjovu, in a statement said, they
Midland believes “in supporting proudly made in Ghana goods hence the
decision to go for Katanka cars.”
Midland, he said, believes it’s time to celebrate gospel music hence
the decision to present a car to the Gospel Artiste of the Year after
the first car prize award was given to Artiste of Year – R2Bees in 2013
and to new artiste of the year Joey B in 2014.
The Managing Director of Kantanka Cars, Kwadwo Safo Junior (Kosa) was
happy that for the first time a group as prominent as musicians’ body is
endorsing an all Ghanaian product.
On his part, MUSIGA President Bice Obour Osei Kuffour indicated that
the relationship between Midland and MUSIGA is proving increasingly
beneficial to both parties and musicians are happy for this partnership.
He therefore called on other corporate bodies to support the creative
industries.
The 16th VGMA comes off on April 11 at the Accra International Conference Centre.
