Last
years VGMA was a big deal for the people of Tamale considering the fact that
their own was nominated in the Traditional song of the year category and the
opportunity to host the VGMA nominee jam for the first time in the metropolis.
Artist in Tamale where thrilled about the
recognition of northern music by the VGMA board and that it may be their
stepping stone to getting recognized and making it big like their counterparts
in the southern part of the country.
However,
this long dream was cut short after that incident at the VGMA nominee jam at
the Tamale sports stadium… Sunday
April 6, 2014. Fans of
sarkodie grew wild and where in divergence with the police which brought the
program to a close. It was a miracle that a life was not lost. conversely,
equipment’s of the organizers (Charterhouse) where destroyed and some of their
Team members injured.
A
staff of charterhouse at an event this year disclosed to me that the events
house after the VGMA nominee jam incident sat in a meeting and came to the
resolution that Tamale should be blacklisted in any of their events including
the VGMA.
He
also added that charterhouse earlier had intention of scheduling a big event in
Tamale every year but the incident changed all that.
Could
last years VGMA nominee jam be the first and the Last Jam the people of Tamale
will witness?
