Double-D to launch Black Citizenship Music Awards & Festival
Double-D
The launch of the maiden Black Citizenship Music Awards and Festival is set for February in Accra with a focus on promoting Ghanaian culture and music.
The move, spearheaded by multi-talented Ghanaian musician, Double-D, is geared at bringing Africans or black citizens together and share the vision to promote African culture and heritage.
In an interview with The Spectator Agoro, Double-D, (real name Emmanuel Emmel Kwame Edem Doe- Bruce) said, the event would also be held in the US this year as part of efforts to bring black descendants in the diaspora.
“It would feature speeches, music, dance and exhibition of great African culture to the people within and outside the country,” he stated.
Double-D, who is also the Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Eml Entertainment Limited and Greater Accra Regional Organiser of Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) called on all black citizens to come on board especially in February which had been set aside as the Black Citizenship Month.
Double-D also announced the release of his new Extended Play (EP) which has great urban gospel songs including ‘Thank God’, ‘Destiny Changer’, ‘Precious Lord’, ‘Alpha and Omega’ and ‘Destiny Child.’
“These are motivational songs that would guide the youth especially in this period where there are a lot of vices,” he explained.
“Let us promote our local songs instead of the foreign ones. There are great artists here in Ghana and the mainstream ones must support the younger ones to make it onto the big stages,” he added.
He also called on corporate Ghana and the government to invest in local talents in a bid to promote the country globally.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
