Can Ghana Music Award Be Bought? Part 1

blank

As the Ghana Music Awards 2010 draws closer, the nation’s anticipation has increased with regards to the artists who are going to be the night’s big winners.

Although the awards are meant to celebrate excellence within the Ghanaian music industry, some things just don’t seem as accurate as they ought to be. Case in point- how can artist win ‘Most Popular Song of the Year,’ but yet fail to win for ‘Hiplife Song of the Year’? Perhaps there are two separate groups that select the nominees for these two categories.

With inaccuracies such as these surrounding the awards, now is the time for the GMAs committee to reconsider the continue usage of Charter House as the organisers of the event. Following ten years of organisation, surely each year should bring an addition of progress. However, these inaccuracies threaten to overshadow the true purpose of the GMAs- celebrating the success of Ghanaian musicians.

Coptic’s well crafted production on the title track, ‘The Process’, sets the tone for the rejuvenated rapper to reintroduce his aggressive flow to the masses on his Mass Appeal debut.

Memphis Bleek describes the album as: “You know people argue over it’s The Understanding or M.A.D.E. is my best album, but this new album is killing all of that because it’s the truth, it’s everything.

It looks like event organizers do not fear ‘rains’ messing their programmes anymore. These days all the entertainment shows in Accra end with one thing in common; LIGHTS OFF. If a show doesn’t end unceremoniously because of incessant power cuts, it will end amidst power on and off for several times.

The outdooring of Zigi at the Aphrodisiac Night Club in Accra, the launch of hip life rap trio V.I.P. (Vision In Progress) new album at the Boomerang Night Club and pre-Val’s Day Bash with Obrafour & Tema’s Finest at Groove Control Night Club in Tema were all disturbed by unexpected light offs.

Bleaching: Are Light-Skinned Entertainers Putting Dark-Skinned Ones In The Shade?

blank

The issue of bleaching is nothing new in African societies, with Ghana being no different. In this day and age, being light-skinned is perceived as an instant definition of beauty. Although it may be easy to criticise people who succumb to the pressures of bleaching, one must also consider the perceptions, ideologies, and the imageries within our contemporary society which leaves some to assume that being light-skinned is the way to go.

With a substantial amount of media images depicting light-skinned women in various glamorous positions, it is no wonder that the consumers of these media images are left with the perception that being light-skinned is more attractive than being dark-skinned. It is not only the ordinary woman (or the ordinary man in some cases) who is vulnerable to the pressures of skin bleaching.
