Rocky Dawuni in 2015 became the first Ghanaian to be nominated for a Grammy award. His sixth studio album, ‘Branches of The Same Tree’ qualified him for the Best Reggae Album category.
This was followed by another nomination last year with his ‘Voice of Bunbon Vol. 1’ album, also in the Best Global Music Album category.
