Kafui Dey starts a campaign to have Stonebwoy’s ‘anti-galamsey’ song nominated for GRAMMY
Ghanaian broadcaster, Kafui Dey is on a mission to combat illegal mining in Ghana and wants to use any means possible to bring the world’s attention to the problem.
The GTV host used music promotion to advocate against ‘galamsey’ by submitting Stonebwoy’s ‘anti-galamsey’ song, ‘GREEDY MEN,’ for the GRAMMY’s ‘Best Song For Social Change’ category.
Kafui posted on Twitter, encouraging others to do the same:
“I have just submitted @stonebwoy’s anti-Galamsey song ‘Greedy Men’ to the Grammy @RecordingAcad for consideration in the ‘Best Song for Social Change’ category. Try and do same too.”
