Ghana at 57 Celebration in Luton (42)

 

Last night, Ghana’s best rapper-Obrafour mounted the high stage at a community event organised by Gye Nyame Entertainment UK in Luton to celebrate how far Ghana has come—dubbed Ghana 57 @ 57 Independence Celebration…

Apart from the free drinks and food patrons enjoyed, the event saw performances from UK acts-Charsay, R Kore and others—after which Obrafour took the centre stage to unleash an electrifying performance, backed by a live band.

With countless hits to his name and many years of stage performance, it is always refreshing when Obrafour takes over the microphone…

According to MyjoyOnline;

As Ghana gears up for this year’s ‘Back In The Day’ concert, organizers have disclosed that patrons, who will be attending will be served some of the 1990s favourite goodies including ‘Poki’ and ‘Alewa’.

The two goodies, one an ice cream – Poki – and the other a candy – Alewa – gained popularity in the 1990s and they were the favourites of kids and the youth of that era.

As the ‘Back In The Day’ concert gears up for a showdown on December 6 at the Accra International Conference Centre, organizers say the ‘Poki’ and ‘Alewa’ are part of the 1990s goodies that fans should expect on the day.

Ahead Of December 6 ‘Back in the Day’ Concert, Let’s Look At Reggie Rockstone!

Reggie Rockstone
Reggie Rockstone

Despite his inherent ‘show-offness’, he is not just called the Grandpapaz for nothing—he started a whole music genre which has become the strongest in Ghana, called Hiplife…

From where some of us sit, Hiplife has become more than a musical genre. It is not far from a movement or a lifestyle as it has its own unique & intriguing identity.

Reggie Rockstone (real name Reginald Osei) was born in United Kingdom but it may have been his subsequent stay in United States of America which sparked the whole Hiplife movement in him.

Riding on the back of the then Hip Hop culture which he was over exposed to, Reggie succeeded in knitting a genre so close to Hip Hop in one sense but so far from it in terms of style, language and audience…

Like most movements, it started at isolated corners—unnoticed. But it is said that, by 1994, Reggie Rockstone had attained a huge following—and had succeeded in choking the millions of Ghanaians with what at the time was seen as having no future…

I hate to look at the many awards Reggie Rockstone has won because that is not the perfect indication of his achievements. For the best outlook at his accomplishment, just think HIPLIFE!

Empire Entertainment Launches ‘Back In The Day’ Concert In Ghana

The Ghana Music Industry can now boast of a BET award but before the acknowledgment, the Hip Life journey has been very torrid. It took the ingenuity of certain individuals to sacrifice and hold the fort for the new crop of Hip Lifers.
This new crop of artistes without any doubt are benefiting greatly from the game. Most of them have acquired many properties and are well recognised.
Would it be cool to say that, ‘monkey dey work, baboon dey chop’? As in the ‘monkeys’ have toiled and worked for years and the ‘baboons’ are now reaping the benefits. This is not to say that, Ghana’s triumph at BET was a fluke.
Let me remind you. In this part of the world, we wait till the demise of a legend before we rave about them. Even though we may be privy to their exploits and achievements, we turn blind eye to them and wait till they are gone and then begin to sing good praises about them.
The artistes who began the Hip Life movement several years ago were the once responsible for Ghana’s triumph at the BET. It’s glaring that their continued effort to keep the genre which was undermined, called names and tagged as ‘don’t have a future’ going despite the challenges they faced.
Back in the Day, the music scene was such that, an artiste had to do a thorough research into whatever they want to sing about or lyrics they want to use in their songs. With a very good instrumentation, a classic song was churned out. Now what you need is a good beat and not unnecessarily good lyrics, then you can boast as a musician.
