Sensational Ghanaian Hausa songwriter and singer Baba Jama has been awarded Artist of the Year at the inaugural Ghana Arewa Empire Music Awards (GAEMA). Gama Music Awards is the first-ever music award for people of the Zongo community across Ghana.
Organizer Abdul Mujeeb Sanusi said he created the awards program because Zongo artists are excluded from the mainstream industry. He said Zongo is a gifted destination when it comes to entertainment and has significant contributions to Ghana’s music industry. The people of Zongo helped Shatta Wale, Stonebwii, and many others. But the people of Zongo are neither appreciated nor recognized. That’s why he created this awards program to honor Zongos musicians, film stars, and industry insiders.

Baba Jamah is one of Zongo’s best artists right now, his songs have been trending all over Zongo for about 3 years now and his social media streams are also trending. Baba Jamah won the Popular Song of the Year category for “FIRGITA KAWAI” at the GHAEMA Music Awards, followed by the 2023 Artist of the Year award.
He, therefore, presented the awards to Sheikh Abdul Wadud of Kumasi, His Highness Muntaka Mubarak of Asawase, and many high-ranking officials of Kumasi.
