However, Ace actress Grace Omaboe commonly known as Maame Dokono has posited in a recent interview with Bola Ray on Starr Chat that the Ghanaians favorite years back, “Cantata” which was aired on GTV remains one of the poor soap operas ever to hit the nation.

 

According to her, Cantaata which was aired on GTV, years back was so terrible in terms of production quality and would not have allowed its airing if she had the power. Cantaata, which was aired on Sunday afternoon was a hilarious show that saw the actors and actresses dancing to music played by a band at short intervals.
