Central Music Awards Boss, Jungo, Fires Back at Ungrateful Artistes

The CEO of Heritage Promotions, organizers of the prestigious Central Music Awards, Francis Spio Jungo, has clapped back at artistes belittling the efforts of dedicated stakeholders in the music industry.

In a scathing post on his official Facebook page, Jungo chastised artistes who downplay the impact of the award scheme, citing instances where some musicians faded into obscurity after underestimating the CMA’s influence.

“The Central Music Awards, blessed from above, will endure and shape the future of musicians from the Central Region,” Jungo emphasized. “Artistes will come and go, rise and fall, but our scheme remains steadfast.”

As Ghana’s first and most esteemed regional awards scheme, the Central Music Awards has celebrated, recognized, and honored hardworking musicians in the Central Region for 12 consecutive years.

Notably, the scheme made history in 2023 by flying its “Artiste of the Year” to Dubai, a testament to its commitment to rewarding excellence.

Despite these achievements, some artistes, who have benefited significantly from the scheme, continue to downplay its significance.

Jungo’s Full Statement:

It’s disappointing to see some Central Region Artistes downplaying the efforts of dedicated stakeholders. Many Artistes in the Region cannot point to any award plaque(s) beyond that/those from regional schemes—of which the Central Music Awards (CMA) was the very first, not only in Central but across Ghana.

Over the years, I’ve seen Artistes who dismissed the CMA fade away quickly; while the scheme continue to grow from glory to glory.

Artistes will come and go, rise and fall, but this scheme, “blessed from above” will endure, bearing witness to all these changes and remaining a constant presence.

NB: No Artiste in Central Region is bigger than the CMA, Period!
