Tap Tap Send to headline GMA-USA 2022
Organisers of Ghana Music Awards-USA have announced money sending vendor platform, Tap Tap Send as its headline sponsor of this year’s event.
Last year the scheme secured a deal with Angel Group of Companies, producers of Adonko products and Next Level Energy Drinks.
In an interview with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dennis Boafo, also known as Don D in the entertainment circles, he said “we are proud of ourselves and very happy to know that companies see our effort towards promoting the Ghanaian Culture, Heritage and Music in the diaspora. I can say on authority that, through GMA-USA last year, Adonko gained prominence in America.”
Tap Tap Send is a no-fee money sending vendor based in some European countries, Asia and America. It is an app based platform that allows one to send money to family and friends in Africa.
According to him, he strongly believes their sponsorship this year will help the scheme change the narrative when it comes to awards in the diaspora.
“We need companies like this to invest in Ghanaian-owned businesses in the diaspora in order to project and promote our culture and heritage to the whole world,” he said.
This Year’s GMA-USA Nominees Announcement will come off at The Grand Roosevelt Ballroom on 2 Hudson Street, Yonkers, New York on April 16,2022.
The event will see Ghanaian artistes in the diaspora and others from Ghana thrill patrons in a glamorous and classy style.
The main event is slated for August 20, 2022, at a venue, which would be announced during the Nominees Announcement
