As the clock ticks down on the voting window for the 2025 Frafra Music Awards, excitement is boiling over, especially in the highly competitive Artist of the Year category. With a car promised for the top spot and a motorbike for the second place, fans have been mobilising in droves, and the numbers speak for themselves. The My Bolga Online Frafra Music Awards Festival 2025 is a program aimed at inspiring and rewarding Frafra musicians. The program is scheduled to take place on 5th July 2025 at the Rock Gardens in Bolga, however, voting for the competitions ends on 30th June 2025. A planned Performance Night is also scheduled to take place on the 20th June 2025 to showcase Frafra music talent to the world ahead of the main awards night. This is the breakdown of the voting pattern so far up to June 10, 2025.
Artist of the Year: A Two-Horse Race?
Currently leading the Artist of the Year pack is Bola Anafo, with a stunning 16,760 votes, placing him well ahead of the competition. Known for his consistent output and fan-friendly style, Bola’s dominance is a testament to both artistry and a fiercely loyal fan base.
In hot pursuit is Jacob Abagna Gongo, who commands an impressive 14,616 votes. While the gap between first and second appears wide, it’s not unbridgeable. Agongo’s recent performances and grassroots campaigns have earned him admiration across Bolgatanga and beyond. The race between these two heavyweights is shaping up to be the most-watched showdown of this year’s awards.
What makes this rivalry even more intense is that both Bola Anafo and Jacob Abagna Gongo have released viral songs that are played everywhere, from viral TikTok content, roadside speakers, to inner-city jams, wedding grounds, and market squares. Their music has become the soundtrack of daily life in the region, making this race not just a contest of numbers but a cultural moment.
Trailing far behind are the rest of the contenders:
BB Batongo – 332 votes
Atognyelga – 144 votes
Akuureyaaba Charles Apaala – 86 votes
Ras Wormz – 24 votes
Azangba Desmond Abugre – 12 votes
While these numbers may not reflect victory potential, they highlight the diversity and richness of the Frafra music scene, where every voice, big or small, adds to the rhythm of the culture.
