One of Ghana’s biggest drive time radio show hosts and multiple award winning broadcast journalist, Abeiku Santana, has declared this month of June dedicated to Ghana’s Urban Gospel Music.
As one of the genres with the least support across board, due to its relatively young state in the music history in Ghana and also it’s diversion from the music norm or popular culture, this gesture by the Tourism Ambassador will be recorded as a great milestone by the stakeholders of Urban Gospel.
Abeiku made this known on his Instagram page and explained his reasons as follows;
Over the years the Ghanaian gospel music scene has seen a transformation from the traditional Highlife and Reggae rhythms to the fusion of the Hip-Pop element and culture.
