Ghana Music Awards UK 2016 Full Nominations List

Asking if Nigerians or Ghanaian’s have had a better year musically won’t be a misplaced question I guess but hey, its all about Ghana this time as they host their annual 2016 Ghana Music Awards UK.

With days to go, it promises to be an eventful award night as all genres of music and acts would grace the event. The event which is put together by Alordia Promotion & West Coast UK Entertainment has carefully selected its nominees for various categories and Shatta Wale seems to be the man of the moment but Mr. Eazi is not far fetched.

Nigerian acts have also proved worthy of the nominee list as they dominate the African Artist Of The Year category with Wizkid, Tekno, Davido, Olamide and Patoranking all on the list. I hope they don’t pull a Headies by the way.

The event which seeks to Recognize the achievements of our musicians, has been slated for November 5th, 2016, at Gaumont Palace formerly known as Dominion Centre, 9 The Broadway Wood Green London N22 6DS and over 26 categories to be awarded that day.
