Ghanaian Artist Gambo Sets Sights on Grammy Nomination

In a bold and visionary tweet dated March 14, 2021, Ghanaian artist Gambo sparked both curiosity and skepticism as he declared, “I’d be the first in Ghana to be nominated for a Grammy.”Fast forward to today, and the country is still waiting for the prophecy to unfold.

Along with outlining his goals in the tweet, Gambo brought attention to a widespread problem: the dearth of support in Ghana’s music industry. The tweet sparked conversations on unity, competitiveness, and the challenges experienced by individuals pursuing success by contrasting this with the collaborative atmosphere observed among Nigerian artists.

More than just a statement, Gambo’s tweet was a statement of purpose, a tentative step toward a future in which Ghanaian music would be heard all over the world. The very act of establishing such a goal questions the established order and elevates the story of Ghanaian musicians, regardless of whether the Grammy nomination comes through.
