A GROUP of gospel musicians in the country have welcomed the decision by Frimprince Music Production to organize the much awaited Gospel Music Awards Italy on November 7 to honour Ghanaian gospel musicians. The awards are to be given to gospel musicians who have contributed immensely toward the promotion of gospel music in Ghana and beyond. The gospel musicians in separate interviews with BEATWAVES expressed their delight because, according to them, such events always encourage them to put in more effort to be the best at what they do. The musicians noted that they were happy to see companies like Frimprince Music Production investing in gospel music to promote the work of God, as well as promoting Ghanaian gospel music on the international music scene. The musicians however appealed to individuals, organizations, stakeholders and the government to contribute toward the building of a vibrant music industry in the country. The Gospel Music Awards Italy, which is being organized by Frimprince Music Production, seeks to recognize excellence in gospel music that has won the hearts of gospel music fans in Europe and other parts of the world. The awards ceremony is slated for November7 at the Viale, Mazzini 39 Vicenza, Italy. The awards night, according to the organizers, will be the biggest to be staged by a Ghanaian event organizer. The occasion will see gospel musicians taking home trophies and hampers.
