Bisa Kdei
The first set of list of nominees for the 2016 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards
has been released.
The three categories: Gospel song of the Year, Gospel Artiste of the Year and Highlife Song of the Year features a number of artistes/song that performed creditably well the year under review.
Bisa Kdei’s “Brother Brother” however could not make the list as expected by some music lovers.
Few weeks to the release of the list, Kwaku Adu Kumi, a broadcaster with Multimedia, raised concerns about the use of an ‘f’ word [forking] in Bisa’s song saying it disqualifies the song from being nominated.
Bisa in response said he meant no malice in using ‘forking’. According to him, the word as used in Kumasi is to express the degree of a situation.
Could it be that Bisa Kdei’s “Brother Brother” was not nominated because of the ‘f’ word? Well…
Below are the nominees and the various categories.
