The nominees for the 3rd edition of the Ghana Music Awards Europe (GMA Europe) have been announced in anticipation of the main event scheduled for September 7, 2024, in Amsterdam.
The announcement party took place at the La Vila Boutique Hotel in OSU, Accra, and was attended by notable musicians, up-and-coming recording artists, talent managers, critics, media personalities, and other professionals from the music industry.
The GMA Europe awards aim to honor the hard work and artistic achievements of Ghanaian music talents both within Ghana and across Europe.
The previous edition, held in September 2023, took place in Toulouse, France. This year’s ceremony promises to continue the tradition of celebrating Ghanaian musical excellence on an international stage.
Music legend Amandzeba Nat Brew, highlife hitmaker Samuel Owusu, and MUSIGA President Bessa Simons were among the attendees who praised the organizers for their efforts to promote Ghanaian artists globally.
