“Ghanaians are our next door neighbours and both countries have always been intertwined in both music and movies. I believe in the mutual growth of the entertainment industry for both countries, I’m also incredibly passionate about the discovery and promotion of new talent and with Showmax at the forefront of promoting local African content, it is my belief that we’re set to unleash incredible new talent,” Basketmouth shared in a statement.
While plot details remain under wraps, ‘Ghana Jollof’ is expected to also feature new talents from Ghana and Nigeria. It promises to be an entertaining collaboration between both countries.
‘Ghana Jollof’ will be Showmax’s second original show after debuting reality show ‘I Am Laycon’ in February.
