The Musicians Union of Ghana is throwing a massive party at Labadi Beach Hotel to mark half a century of existence, and they got some heavy hitters performing. Pat Thomas and Smart Nkansah are headlining alongside Rocky Dawuni, who got Grammy nominations under his belt. The whole thing has backing from the Ga Mantse and a bunch of corporate sponsors like Telecel and Stanbic Bank.
The organization wrapped up a conference about pushing innovation in the industry before the gala kicks off. President Bess Simons mentioned that the union has been fighting for artist welfare since the mid-70s, and this celebration is about honoring that legacy while looking ahead. The event will hand out awards to people who shaped the music scene, and government officials, plus international guests are showing up to the festivities.
