President of MUSIGA, Bice Osei Kuffour, told BEATWAVES that the MUSIGA Grand Ball is an annual fundraising event aimed at raising funds to support some of the projects being undertaken by MUSIGA.

He added that this year’s event is in aid of the Ageing Musicians Welfare Fund (AMWeF).

As part of this year’s event, Obour revealed that a number of individuals and institutions will be honoured for their meritorious contribution to the development of the music industry in Ghana.
