Another tragedy hits Ghana’s Music Industry as information reaching Ghafla.com has it that, ace\u00a0 highlife Musician, Awurama Badu has passed away after battling with a long sickness following the recent death of Paapa Yankson. She died on Thursday night at the Effiduase Government Hospital in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n

The 72 year old\u00a0has been ill for for some time now and it is unclear what sickness she had been battling.<\/p>\n

Awurama Badu was undoubtedly one of the country’s prolific musicians known for songs like ‘Komkom’ and ‘Emelia’, ‘ OObaatan Refre Ne Mma’ aside ‘Medofo Adadaa Me’.<\/p>\n

She was recognized in 2016 for her immense contribution to the growth of music in Ghana by Values For Life (VFL), a non governmental and profit making organization.<\/p>\n

The Event, ‘A Night With Female Legends’, which was put together by VFL, seeks to promote African cultural renaissance and restoration, popularly among the youth.<\/p>\n

May her soul rest in Peace.<\/p>\n
