Telecel Ghana Music Awards: Two major changes effected following errors & omissions window
The board of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards has made two major corrections following the one-week window opened for errors and omissions in the already-released list of nominations.
According to a statement issued by the board, two major songs were considered.
These include Kwaku Ananse by Amerado and Lonely Road by O’Kenneth and Xlim Kid.
The statement reads;
After careful evaluation of all submissions, the board confirms that there were neither errors nor omissions in the nominations list, except for the following: Lonely Road by O’Kenneth Et Xlim Kid and Kwaku Ananse by Amerado.
Lonely Road by O’Kenneth and Xlim Kid.
This collaborative submission, initially filed as a featured work (Lonely Road, by O’Kenneth ft Xlim Kid), has been the subject of a correction. The management of both artists pointed out that ‘Lonely Road’ was a joint project by O’Kenneth and Xlim Kid and not a feature.
The Board noted this and has thus corrected the nomination to reflect ‘Lonely Road, by O’Kenneth and Xlim Kid’.
Kwaku Ananse by Amerado
The Board considered and nominated ‘Kwaku Ananse‘ remix in the Best Highlife Song category instead of the song’s original version. This affected the song’s consideration in the Most Popular Song of the Year category.
The Board has reviewed this and consequently nominated ‘Kwaku Ananse’ by Amerado to replace the remix version in the Best Highlife Category. The song has also been nominated in the Most Popular Song of the Year Category.
The Board through the statement expressed its commitment to fairness in the Telecel Ghana Music Awards and expressed appreciation to stakeholders in the music community for their commitment to this scheme over the past 25 years, especially for their active participation during the recent window of Errors & Omissions.
The latest update puts Amerado up with 6 nominations at the 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
The 25th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards will be held on June 1, 2024.
