Merging Energy and Culture, MOVE-Another Great Music Video from Becca with Appearances By Legendary African musicians-Yvonne Chaka Chaka & Hughes Hugh Masekela

Becca

I have maintained the argument that, Ghanaian songstress-Becca (real name Rebecca Acheampong) is a pace-setter, with a non-extinguishing desire to make an indelible musical mark in Ghana and beyond.

Over the years, Becca has affirmed my position and that of many Ghanaian music lovers, that she does not just have a unique talent but also, possesses the energy, commitment, desire and the industry connections need to take her music to the next level.

Last year, Becca released a video for her second studio album’s title track-Time for Me which was shot in Japan, and I said at the time that “nothing of such quality has been seen in Ghana”.

Being part of an industry where many of the artistes are struggling with creativity and career directions seems not to have any sort of negative bearing on Becca, considering the quality of songs and music videos she keeps pushing our way.

On Friday, Becca’s latest single-MOVE featuring Uhuru of ‘Khona’ fame was given the first airplay on Bola Ray’s Drive Time on Joy fm and it was worth the long wait.

As the Editor of GhanaCelebrities.Com, I have had the privilege to watch the music video of Becca’s newest single-MOVE ahead of its release, and I am amazed at the standard and the perfect fusion of African traditional dance with the exciting strings of energy the song gives out…

Legendary African musicians Yvonne Chaka Chaka & Hughes Hugh Masekela made prominent appearances in the video—and I am told they did so, simply because they adore Becca’s talent and career direction. Who wouldn’t?

Wanlov the Kubolor and Mensa-(FOKN BOIS) Music or Absurdity? | Video of the Two Putting Their DING DONG on Full Display…

FOKN BOIS
FOKN BOIS

My mind is heavy this morning…

I love African artistes. I celebrate the push and strife of many Africans into international recognition. It is a thing I am exceedingly proud of. So I am in equal measure, very wounded when we use those platforms to embarrass and ridicule the image of Ghanaians.

We all know the FOKN BOIS. We all know they have their own style and have categorized themselves as controversial. I appreciate their artistic efforts. I also happen to appreciate tasty n*dity in art.

But when I watched the below video of the FOKN BOIS perambulating their ding dongs in Coz Ov Moni Part 2, that is supposed to go international and represent the Ghanaian image, I was assailed by a combination of emotions. Of dread, disdain, pity, trepidation, shame?

I am totally lost. The video has been out for a while and most of you might have seen it, if not you can see it below. What is the essence of all that much n*dity in the video? And the ladies, where did they find them from, so eager and willing to care their bosoms to everyone…

What were they thinking when they put this together? Is this supposed to be a work of art or is this supposed to stir up some international interest and get them an interview on CNN which they will ignorantly translate into success? Stardom?

New National Executives of NPP Elected | Sir John and Jake Obetsebi Lamptey Out + Full List

NPP

 

Yesterday, the members of New Patriotic Party (NPP) congregated in Tamale to elect their national executives who will lead the party for the next 4 years—and probably bring the party the much needed Presidential election victory.

Shockingly, Kodjo Owusu Afriyie aka Sir John, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey and others could not retain their seat, paving way for new executives.

With Sir John and Jake Obetsebi Lamptey having lost their seats, many are of the view that Alan Kyeremanteng will pull a good one on Akufo Addo to become the party’s flag bearer for the next election

Check out the full list of the new executives below…
