Legendary music duo, Tagoe Sisters have unreservedly apologised to ace producer, Zapp Mallet for not inviting him to their 40th anniversary concert.
Tagoe Sisters on Sunday, October 15, staged a successful 40th anniversary event which was graced by many industry players.
However, Zapp Mallet, who contributed immensely to their career, including producing an album for them in 1989 was not seen at the event.
Speaking in an interview with Ghanaweb, Tuesday, October 17, 2023, Zapp Mallet expressed his disappointment, stating that he was supposed to be a part of the celebrations.
“The attention of the management of the evergreen Tagoe Sisters has been drawn to a post on X by the producer extraordinaire, Zapp Mallet expressing his utter disappointment at being excluded from the Tagoe Sisters 40th Anniversary celebration, particularly
considering the fact that he produced the second album of the Tagoe Sisters in 1989,” the statement opened.
They added “On behalf of the Tagoe Sisters, management would like to respectfully and unreservedly render an apology to quintessential ace- producer Zapp Mallet. “

The statement concluded, “Once again, our sincere apologies.
For emphasis purposes, the 1989 release was an album and the producer of same cannot
be no other than you sir.”
