Nana Brobbey gets four nods at Bass Awards

Reggae musician, social activist and entrepreneur, Nana Brobbey, also known as Bobo Shanti in music circles, has been nominated in five categories ahead of the Bass Awards slated for December 25 at the National Theatre.

Nana Brobbey, who won the Yaa Asantewa Award last year for his Ebola song, hopes to increase his tally this year. His song, G.M.O has been nominated for the Yaa Asantewa Award again this year.

His other nominations are Best Reggae Video, Best Collaboration and Songwriter of the Year.

According to the United States- based musician, he preferred to address topical social issues and would continue to deal with them in his songs.

 He called on all Ghanaians and reggae lovers to continue to support home-grown reggae and dancehall music and pointed to the success attained by Grammy nominee, Rocky Dawuni, as an example of the heights our reggae music can reach if well produced.

Nana Brobbey has been in the music business for over a decade and is generally regarded as an astute social commentator.

Touching on the recent national elections, he commended Ghanaians for maintaining the peace and urged all to be law-abiding in these trying times.  He also congratulated President-elect Nana Akufo-Addo for a well-deserved victory.
