No support From 'Modern' Ghanaian Pastors To Gospel Musicians Now - Tagoe Sisters

Veteran Ghanaian gospel duo Tagoe Sisters, have bemoaned the lack of support for rising and mainstream gospel musicians in Ghana. The duo, who are real life twin sisters, are not happy about the new development.
The “Anka Matete” hitmakers made this known during an interview on “Ofie Kwanso” on Accra-based Okay FM.
According to Tagoe Sisters, they had good support from the late Francis Akwasi Amoako when they were rising but things have changed. They do not see that support from ‘modern’ pastors now for young gospel musicians.
“We are not getting the necessary support from our pastors of today,” they told Abeiku Santana. “It looks like our effort doesn’t matter to them anymore. When you are done singing, that is it,” one of them said.
They said financial support is one of their biggest headaches and even when they make an effort to record, pastors, do not support them to market.
"Formerly, when we are offered money after a performance, we hardly accept it because money isn’t our motive. We thought it was a sacrificial job. But we came to realize that financial support was needed to push our talent. We spend money on almost everything so it’s needed.”
“Even after spending your own money to record, pastors refuse to help sell in their churches,” they added.
