Popular Ghanaian veteran musician, Quophi Okyeame has indicated that Takoradi-based musician, Kofi Kinaata needs to be nominated in the Gospel Song of the Year category in next year\u2019s VGMA\u2019s.<\/strong><\/p>\n Okyeame Quophi in a recent radio submission noted that award scheme should consider nominating Kofi Kinaata\u2019s \u2018Things Fall Apart\u2019 tracks in one of the Gospel categories in 2020.<\/p>\n He labelled the song has a \u201cmarvellous\u201d song that deserves to be put in Gospel Song of the Year category.<\/p>\n \u201cThe words that proceed out of his mouth and the effect they have on society are in rhythmic rhyme with the book of life,\u201d he said; <\/p>\n This was after Mark Okraku Mantey and Rev Abraham Lamptey began a debate on who a Gospel singer is and what a Gospel song is.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mark Okraku in his submission stated that choosing songs for nominations is purely technical and has nothing to do with the message, whiles Rev Abraham was of the view that the message in a song is critical in determining what a Gospel song is.<\/p>\n However, Okyeame Quophi was quick to add that the message in \u2018Things Fall Apart\u2019 is no different from when Reverend met a woman who was trying to cross the road, he got down and helped. <\/p>\n Okyeame Qupphi also added that Kofi Kinaata\u2019s Things Fall Apart deserves to be considered for a Gospel Song regardless of the technicalities.<\/p>\n \u201cif we are talking about awards schemes and categorisation and trying to find the perfect definition of what gospel is then Kofi Kinaata qualifies for that particular song to be nominated as a gospel song,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n Source: www.ghgossip.com<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
