Through our commitment to commercializing music, we have been able to give real value for money to our local artistes and support to the Ghana Music Industry.”
“After the launch of Tigo Music last year, it won the “Most Innovative Product of the Year” at the 2015 Ghana Telecom Award, which shows how relevant, timely and insight driven the Tigo Music brand is.”
He noted: “We are proud of what we have been able to achieve, and the tremendous response we received for it. We’re expecting an even better response this year.”
He explained that the event is targeted at all our customers hence the mixed line-up of artists, adding that, “As always we promise fireworks and intensive partying.”
“We will continue to be part of the music industry because we believe that music delivers a great brand experience. We urge our customers to join us at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium for a fun-filled concert,” he stated.
