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.

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.”

GHANAIAN gospel heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has released a spirit-filled song titled “Sunsum Ndwom.”
The song, which is already making waves shortly after its release, is delivered in three parts, each carrying a powerful message.
The first part reflects on the mystery of Prophet Elijah, where people wondered who he was after he prayed and called down fire from heaven.
The second part centres on salvation, urging believers not to celebrate only power and miracles, but to celebrate the fact that their names are written in the Book of Life, because that is what lasts forever.
The third part celebrates the beauty of God’s healing power, a song originally composed by her late mother.
The gospel star is urging Ghanaians to stream the song on all platforms and encounter its powerful lyrics.
She also stressed the need to preserve Ghana’s traditional gospel sound, expressing hope that the new generation will embrace their heritage.
Empress Gifty further expressed appreciation to all stakeholders in the industry who have supported her career over the years.
