GHANA @50, be there or square

Ghana@50 6TH MARCH, 1957.
Does this ring a bell? The first country out of Sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence? What about “the battle has ended, Ghana, your beloved country, is free forever” These were the words from Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of the Republic of Ghana when Ghana attained independence.
This year, Ghana is celebrating 50 years since independence and I am glad to announce it to the whole of Africa and the world at large. A lot of activities have been lined up for this event and I want to invite all Africans and stakeholders, investors to come join the people of “Gold Coast” (Ghana) on her anniversary.

Honeymoon is over - time to love Ghana again

...Sounds on da ground and seens on the see-ins

A lot of people have attributed the relative lack of success of Kojo Antwi's latest album, "Tattoo' to its slow-paced songs. Listening to the album, even though it is short of club bangers, the songs would grow on you the more you listen to them. Kojo was queried about these concerns by a Peace FM DJ and he pointed out that he wanted to make music more for the ears (and heart) and not the feet. They discussed one of his new tracks, 'Honeymoon is over'. After listening to this song a couple of times, I agree perfectly with Quajo-Quajo.

'Tattoo'is Kojo Antwi's latest album. The title track talks about Kojo tattooing his love onto his chest/heart. The album also has 'Osebo' (tiger) which enjoyed the most airplay and talks about his love waking up the tiger in him (hmm), 'Maintenance man', 'Do me wu' and 'Odo a medo wo'. 'Honeymoon is over' is not my favourite song but a comment passed about it during that interview increased my interest in the song. The song is linked to Ghana's upcoming golden anniversary, 1957-2007.
