Prosdos Awarded Grand Prix Africain de la Culture for Preserving African Traditions

Ghanaian musician Prosdos has been honoured with the Grand Prix Africain de la Culture by the Union Africaine Pour La Culture (UAC) in Togo.
The award recognises his talent, creativity, and strong contribution to African music and culture.

The ceremony, held in Togo, marks another milestone in Prosdos’ growing career. He was the only Ghanaian recognised at the event.

Speaking after receiving the award, Prosdos said he was grateful for the recognition.

“Personally, this award feels good for the many sleepless nights and hard work. Professionally, it means an elevation in my thriving career,” he said.

How Prosdos Earned the Honour

Prosdos’ recognition came after he was invited for a Music and Culture interview at TVT in Togo.
Following the interview, he received invitations to perform at various events in Togo and Benin. His performances promoting African culture caught the attention of the UAC, leading to the award.

Unique Stage Presence

One of the things that make Prosdos stand out is his stagecraft. He is known for unique outfits, including a costume made from corn husks, which always amazes audiences.
His music is easy to understand and rich in culture, helping him connect with fans across different countries.

Prosdos started his music career during the COVID-19 lockdown when he composed Bebe Shokoma for a woman who helped him during the restrictions. Since then, he has released several songs and performed at events like the Aspatere Festival and Akwaba Festival in Ghana.

Inspired by African Music Legends

Growing up, Prosdos was inspired by African music greats such as King Mensah of Togo, VVIP, Tic Tac, Slim Buster, Reggie Rockstone, Merwei of Côte d’Ivoire, Daddy Lumba, Kofi B, Amakye Dede, and Shatta Wale.
These influences have helped him blend traditional African sounds with modern music styles.

A Mission to Preserve African Culture

For Prosdos, music is more than entertainment—it is a way to preserve African culture.
He believes western influence has overshadowed African traditions, and through his music and art, he wants to remind Africans of their roots and promote unity.

“Culture has been lowly talked about, which has led to cultural assimilation. I stand as a beacon of remembrance to my people, to boost unity through music and art,” he said.

Challenges and Future Plans

While his recognition is growing, Prosdos says he faces challenges, especially financing his projects and getting more promotion.
He hopes for more support from Ghana’s cultural authorities and wants to work closely with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
