Gospel Musicians Consulting Fetish Priests?

The United Gospel Musicians Association (UGMA) on Tuesday expressed concern about allegations in the media that gospel musicians consulted fetish priests and priestesses to facilitate the sale of their songs.

The Association challenged radio presenters making the allegation to come out and name those they claimed had consulted fetish priests and priestesses or apologise to Christians for the false allegation.

Mr Ernest Kwesi Ennin, General Secretary of UGMA, told a press conference in Accra that the reports had created anxiety among gospel musicians and Christians as a whole.

"The reports have the potential of adversely affecting the promotion and sale of gospel music and shall affect the impact of gospel music," he said.

Mr Ennin said consulting fetish priests contradicted the Christian faith and noted that members of UGMA relied spiritually on God and were motivated by Him in composing, recording, producing and marketing of their music.
