The seat of government, the Jubilee House, last Saturday hosted a novel Independence Day parade, characterised by brevity, precision and colour.
The novel event was as a result of restrictions on public gatherings due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
The unique parade and the other activities will go down in history as the shortest Independence Day ceremony and the only events held across the country to mark the day, which was in the past marked with week-long activities, climaxing with parades in all metropolises, municipalities and districts.
At last Saturday’s ceremony, only eight military officers and 29 men were on parade, and it lasted an hour.
Ghanaian-born country musician and advocate, Samuel John Adotey Allotey, known in showbiz circles as Allor, is calling on stakeholders in the Ghana music industry, particularly, organizers of the annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) to include a country music category in the awards.
The composer of the current pledge and anthem of the Ghana Air Force, Wing Commander Samuel Allotey Rtd., in an interview with Graphic Showbiz, stated that the music industry in Ghana is being denied a whole genre of music that is quiet popular elsewhere.
“I had high hopes back in 2017 when I released my first album, Whispers of Love, and thought country music would come up as a category in the VGMA. Unfortunately, it was not mentioned. I was very disappointed because that is a whole genre that has been overlooked.”
