VGMA Covid-19 Heroes Concert to Honor Frontline Health Care Workers
The COVID-19 Heroes Concert held was a huge success especially because it was for a noble course. The event that had earlier on been postponed took place virtually on social media with the aim of honoring the frontline health care workers who are continually fighting against the current global pandemic that is COVID-19.
The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) was started by Mascot in the year 2000 with the aim of celebrating Ghanaian Musician. The concert is usually held annually and in 2020, it had been scheduled for the 4th of May 2020 at the Koforidua Jackson Park. Nevertheless, the concert was postponed due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic following the National Directives on Public Gathering.
The event took place virtually on social media on the 17th of May 2020 as from 9:30 PM. The concert was hosted by Naa Ashorkor who is a popular broadcaster and actress, and the artists who made the night a success include Cindy Thompson, playwright and Poet, Chief Momen, Kofi Kinaata, Efya, Diana Hamilton, Celestine Donkor, Joe Mettle, Kwesi Arthur Akwaboah, MOG, Adina among a host of others.
The event was also aiming at inspiring hope, supporting the fund-raising effort of the Covid-19 National Trust Fund and to lend a voice to the ‘Wear a Mask’ campaign.
