 Naa Anamua was recently honored at her Teshie-Nungua home in Accra with a gold plaque, a citation, and an undisclosed sum of money in recognition of her contributions to Ga culture and Ghanaian music in general.

The act is a part of LOGHA's commemoration of seasoned Highlife performers who have long held down the fort.

Naa Wulomei discussed her musical journey, which began in 1973 as a member of the well-known Ghanaian music group Wulomei, in her thank-you speech.

Later, when the Suku Troup's debut album, Awo De Me, was out, she joined them. Benin, Togo, Liberia, and Kenya in East Africa were all stops on the Suku Troup's tour of West African nations.

After ten years, Naa Amanua quit Suku Troupe to form her own group in 1988. In 1989, she released Mi Yen Maya.

Despite being much older, Naa is still very active. At the 18th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, she stole the show with highlife musician Charles Amoah. She performs at significant events.

She expressed how much she values LOGHA's honor in a conversation with Graphic Showbiz. Being honored while still alive makes her happy because it shows that her achievements are valued and that people care about her. 

According to Mr. Edward Owusu Benahene, the founder of LOGHA, paying tribute to seasoned musicians while they are still living makes them feel more loved and valued than when it is done after their passing.

 To show our parents, who set the example for us, how much we respect and appreciate them, he said, "more of such honors and other philanthropic activities like paying hospital bills, medical checkups are needed."

The late Kwadwo Akwaboah, AB Crentsil, and Nana Kwame Ampadu, as well as renowned Highlife artists Nana Nana Acheampong and Kwadwo Acheampong, were also honored.
