Tema is considered by many as the home music in Ghana as it is the city where several top Ghanaian musicians come from.
As such, an awards scheme that solely recognizes acts from the planned community has been set up to celebrate the outstanding music icons from the community and its suburb.
The awards scheme is being organized 90 Degrees Tribe and powered by Sound Masters. The maiden edition of the TEMA MUSIC AWARDS is designed to appreciate and award all forms of ‘’TEMA-MADE MUSIC’’, musicians, sound engineers, producers, instrumentalist, music groups, promoters, DJs etc.
The targeted coverage areas will be the Tema Communities, SPINTEX, Lashibi, Ashiaman, Dawhwenya, Prampram, Ada, Sakumono, Tema Newtown, Kpone, Golf City, Afienya, Mitchell Camp and its suburb.
The launch of the Awards scheme happened at the Royal Nick Hotel with Gedu Blay Ambuley as the chairman of the launch with A.
