| Tagoe Sisters |
In July of 1965 saw the birth of the twins. They had their early primary education at Alogloshie Primary and Middle School, near Achimota in Accra. They continued to YMCA to learn dressmaking but abandoned it to answer their destiny call which was gospel music.
The parents of the sisters were against their singing. At the age of 13, the Tagoe Sisters started using empty milk tins on sticks as microphones in their hometown ? Dunkwa-on Offin. The twins, with hope and confidence, displayed an independence that set them apart.

| Tagoe Sisters: when it all began |
When they turned professional, they vault far ahead of the musical style they themselves introduced and started exploring new horizons.
Their exciting music has travelled the world over, transcending Culture and Political Barriers, leaving joy and inspiration in the hearts and homes it touches.
Their style of singing in unison with occasion injections of the two-part harmony has carved a much-envied niche for them in recently highly competitive gospel music market.
Imitation, they say, is the highest form of flattery. If so then the Tagoe Sisters are greatly flattered by the multitude of musicians and young talent striving to sound or look like them.
