GHANAIAN Reggae artiste Ras Kuuku has criticised organisers of the annual Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) for restricting the Gospel Song of the Year category to only gospel artistes. To him, what defines a gospel song is not the artiste performing it but rather the lyrics and message it conveys. According to the TGMA’s official criteria, “The Best Gospel Song is the song adjudged by the Academy, Board, and the General Public as the most popular Christian song, commercially released in the year under review. The song must have generated the most public excitement and enjoyed a lot of patronage from the general public. Only songs performed by Gospel artistes are eligible for this category.”
