“ has always been a core part of our tradition as a people and as a country, our diverse music genres define our culture, our heritage, and our humanity. Over the years, highly talented artists and their timeless music have positively promoted Ghana on the global stage. However. we are not estopped todo more especially in the current global setting where a click of a button can transmit content in seconds”.
The letter also described the embassy’s excitement at the opportunity to project Ghana through this partnership:
“The Embassy finds this partnership particularly exciting because it aligns with our strategy to leverage Ghanaian talents and platforms across the United States in our efforts to market and project Ghana”.
In the letter signed by the embassy’s head of information and public affairs, Kofi Tonto finally relayed the good wishes of the ambassador to the organizers.
“On behalf of the Ambassador, H.E.Hajia Alima Mahama, and the entire staff of the Embassy, I extend our best wishes to the organization and to all the artists who have been nominated for this year’s ceremony.”
The second edition of the Ghana Awards USA, which has been deemed the biggest gathering of Ghanaians in North America, is scheduled to take place on August 21, 2021, at Atlantic City, New Jersey.
