A former Ambassador and representative of the family of ex-President J.J Rawlings, Ambassador James Victor Gbeho has challenged musicians to continue to use their skills and talents for the improvement of society.

The President of MUSIGA, Bessa Simons, on his part conveyed the deepest sympathies of the members of the union and the entire musical fraternity to the family of former President Rawlings and assured him of the preparedness of the musicians to participate fully in the funeral celebrations Mad. Agbotui.
Present at the meeting were the Vice President of the union, Rev. Dr. Thomas Yawson; the national organiser, Chizzy Wailer; the Director of Communications and Special Projects, Ahuma Bosco Ocansey; the Tagoe Sisters, Rev Dr. Mary Ghansah, Naa Amanua of the Wulomei fame, Pat Thomas, Rebecca Ray, Edem and his manager Danny Masoul among others.
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.
