Confirmed cases of coronavirus in Ghana has increased from 68 to 132 with 3 deaths recorded so far.

There have been calls by the Ghanaian community for government to lockdown the country which the president responded to the calls yesterday in a meeting with the leadership of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) at the Jubilee House.

According to President Akufo-Addo, although a lockdown remains an option, extensive consultations will be made to ensure that the government takes the right decision.

“At the time, there were a lot of comments, many of them unhelpful, but at the end of the day, I believe that the decision to ban international travel, as well as take the measures to quarantine and test travellers, is being vindicated by facts.

“We are now seeing the benefits of these measures, and we can never stop there. We have to constantly look at whatever additional measures there are that will put us in a strong place to deal with this pandemic, and that is what we are constantly doing,” the President said.

“We are under constant review; we are looking at measures that we have taken and constantly reviewing them to make sure that we are abreast of the issues and can provide an effective antidote,” he added.

DEBUT ALBUM by Miriam Mandipira & The Soul Family!
You’ve never heard a voice like Miriam Mandipira’s. Undeservedly, she doesn’t take credit for the power or presence she delivers. For Miriam, music is much more than just notes and words. It’s
magic. And faith. You can experience it LIVE and on the album, which is set to be released on September 1st.

She has been singing for as long as she can remember, growing up with her ears glued to the radio.

From the moment her school teacher asked her to sing in class, the rest has been history. From Africa to Denmark, from Book Café in Harare to Mojo Blues Bar and the big concert halls. From
Danish Radio Big Band to the Royal Theater. Music is music, and Miriam is the music.

“But it’s not about me when I sing. I’m just the instrument, and when I’m on stage with my band, I sing from a place that’s not about rules and technique but about emotions,” says the singer, who is
seriously trying her hand at songwriting – together with her Soul Family on the album “Ndiwe”, which means ‘you are the chosen one of my heart.’ The overall message is impossible to ignore
Love.

“Call me a soul singer, call me a jazz singer. I don’t care. Good music is good music, and I love interpreting other people’s songs and being inspired. At the same time, I think it’s great to try my
hand at creating and writing the songs myself – and with my friends in the Soul Family, I have found my place. They are my family, and the curiosity and respect we share are fantastic.”

You can experience that up close when Miriam & The Soul Family take the stage. The enthusiasm for music and communication is impossible to ignore and hear.

“I love to maintain the feeling of being a child. It’s an excitement and curiosity that keeps me going, and that’s why I’m so excited about every single concert – no matter how small or large it is.

Otherwise, I would never do it. This is not just a casual thing. This is a life, and everything means something,” says Miriam, who began her years in Denmark by jamming at Mojo Blues Bar, building a network.
