Charterhouse, organizers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) have announced nominees for newly added categories.
The categories are Producer of the Year, Best Video Director and Audio Engineer of the Year. According to Robert Klah, the PRO of Charterhouse, these categories waited to ensure proper review and accuracy. Earlier, the organisers revealed the Unsung Artiste of the Year in the first week of April.
This revelation comes after a thorough review by the TGMA board following a one-week window for Errors & Omissions in the nominations process which ended last week Thursday.
Notably, the board acknowledged an oversight regarding the categorisation of Amerado’s hit track, “Kwaku Ananse.” Initially nominated for Best Highlife Song under its remix version, the board recognised the original rendition’s popularity and significance.
Another adjustment was “Lonely Road” by O’Kenneth & Xlim Kid. Originally submitted as a featured work, the board rectified the entry to reflect it as a joint project by both artists. Robert Klah expressed gratitude to the music community for their active participation in the Errors & Omissions window.
He reiterated the board’s commitment to fairness and transparency in the awards process, acknowledging the stakeholders’ contributions over the past 25 years.
