Ghana Music Awards 2008 nominations out

New faces, new voices and new names will dominate this year’s Ghana Music Awards. 2007 can fairly be said to be a not-too-vibrant year for Hiplife in Ghana. Same cannot be said of Ghanaian Gospel music as they occupied the number one position in most of the chart shows in the country. It was almost a dead year for Highlife releases last year. The most notable Highlife album released last year is Gyedu Blay Ambolley’s ‘Next Generation’.
