Dennis Boafo Talks Bridging the Gap Between Ghanaian Musicians at Home and Abroad
Dennis Boafo

Dennis Boafo, the organizer behind the Ghana Music Awards USA (GMA USA), has emphasized the role of the awards in connecting Ghanaian musicians from both sides of the Atlantic. The event has become a key platform for fostering collaborations, enabling artists based in Ghana to work with those in the diaspora, thereby enhancing the global reach of Ghanaian music.

The GMA USA has been more than just an awards show; it acts as a significant networking hub where artists meet, share ideas, and create music together. This has resulted in notable collaborations that enrich the Ghanaian music scene. Additionally, media partnerships, such as the one with UTV, have been crucial in amplifying the reach of these collaborations and the artists involved, providing greater exposure in both Africa and North America.

Boafo's strategy also includes encouraging U.S.-based artists to engage with the Ghanaian music market to be eligible for nominations, which not only promotes the artists but also strengthens cultural and economic ties between Ghana and its diaspora, ensuring a more integrated and dynamic music industry.
