GhanaMusic portal marks 20 years of promoting local content
GhanaMusic portal known for promotion of Ghanaian music has marked 20 years since its inception on August 10, 2001.
GhanaMusic portal is a subsidiary of MiPROMO Company Limited, specialisedin Web publishing, YouTube monetisation & Channel management among others.
According to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MiPROMO, Nii Abbey Mensah, the journey throughout these two decades had been a worthwhile experience of successes and hurdles in liaising between artistes and the final consumer.
He said it started as a hobby on an old Pentium computer 20 years ago, despite difficulties with Internet connectivity and content availability, “it’s hard to believe that this prestigious website has been able to fuel up the lives of Ghanaians both home and abroad with the style, artistry, drama, controversies and songs of our hitmakers for all these years.”
“Despite setbacks and challenges that had sprung up along the way, Ghanamusic.com forged its way through the hearts of millions of netizens and subscribers over the years,” he said.
He stated that some of the events they had partnered included the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, Ghana Meets Naija, Ghana Music Awards UK, Ghana National Gospel Music Awards, Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Concerts, among others.
Commenting on the milestone attained, Nii Atakorah Mensah, Head of Content Creation & Acquisition at MiPROMO Media, said, “It is no secret that we have been one of the main backbones behind the successful careers of major artistes in Ghana since 2001.”
Organisers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards 27 have announced “A Touch of Glitter as the official red carpet theme for this year’s ceremony.’’
In a statement issued on Thursday, April 16, Charterhouse indicated that the theme is designed to promote elegance and creativity while maintaining a refined fashion standard.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
