David Ghartey-Tagoe

A Broadcast Icon

This is a remarkable book and Kwesi, my brother and dear friend, has done a wonderful job capturing the essence of our father, David Ghartey-Tagoe, who we also affectionately call "Mpaa". Kwesi demonstrates in this book that he knows Mpaa well. This is not surprising. After all, he is the first born, shares the same Christian name, lived with him longer than any of the other siblings, has followed a similar career path, and as he explains in the book, has many other things in common with Mpaa. In addition to providing insights into what it is like being the son of Mpaa, this book also reflects Kwesi's extensive research into Mpaa's life as a youth, family man, teacher, and broadcaster. Interestingly, it also provides a tutorial on various aspects of Efutu culture.
