The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has declared intentions to motivate highlife musicians in order to whip up the interest of artists in promoting the genre.
This was disclosed by the President of the Union, Bessa Simons, to award special prizes to winners of the highlife category in the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) starting next year.
In a recent media interview, Bessa Simons said the move formed part of the union’s contributions to help preserve the genre while giving a facelift to musicians doing highlife.
“One thing MUSIGA is doing to promote highlife is that next year, because we are partners with Telecel Ghana Music Awards, we are adding a special award to the person who wins the highlife category,” he said.
The veteran musician also stated that the prize was more than a cash prize and urged Ghanaians to anticipate, as he advised musicians to put much effort into promoting the highlife genre.
