Tagoe Sisters, a famed Ghanaian gospel music group, has apologised to legendary sound engineer Zapp Mallet for failing to invite him to their 40th anniversary celebration.
The Tagoe Sisters @40 festivities are a series of live music events performed between September and October 2023 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the legendary Ghanaian gospel pair in the music business.
The highlight of the events was a huge concert on Sunday, October 15, 2023, at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
Among the dignitaries and celebrities invited were President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Gifty Osei, Hopeson Adorye, Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako, Nacee, and Perez Musik.
Zapp Mallet, who produced the Tagoe Sisters’ second album, Stay In My Heart, in 1989, voiced his disappointment at not being invited to the occasion.
“Even though I produced their album in 1989 unless they didn’t consider that a release, I was never invited to their 40th anniversary. Ingratitude or forgetfulness? Smh. Human nature,” he said.
In response to Zapp Mallet’s complaints, Tagoe Sisters’ management released a press statement apologising to the famed sound engineer for not including him in the 40th-anniversary festivities.
The music group said in a statement signed by Tagoe Sisters’ Manager/Head of Events, Nii Armah Armateifio, “It was an unforgivable oversight on the part of management and organisers as the Tagoe Sisters added his name to the list of VIP guests to be invited for both events at the Under Bridge and the Accra International Conference Centre.” Please accept our heartfelt apologies once more.”
