The numbers that made it possible to reach the first of two days of the Ghana World Music Festival at the Fantasy Dome Trade Fair Saturday night, reflect the fact that it was a great event.
Although attendance was not as expected, the event never failed on the music side.
It was all that everyone could hope for in a quality concert: its excellent, lighting and the most talented actors of all time.
The Ghana World Music Festival is part of a long list of activities reserved for the celebration of the Year of Return. This year is exactly 400 years after the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in Jamestown, Virginia.
It was not surprising to see a large number of music lovers from the diaspora attend the concert.
They simply did not want to miss the electrifying performances of the talented Canadian-born singer Deborah Cox, Jamaica's Third World, Irving Mayfield of the United States, Ernie Smith of South Africa and the Maestro of Kojo Antwi Ghanaian music.
One by one, these high-end artists really made the room vibrate.
Ernie Smith, on guitar and backed by a jazz band, offered his clients a soothing range of clbadic pieces such as "Love Don & # 39; t Hurt Me Again", "Ten Years Free" and "Lonely".
After this welcome performance, one of Ghana's top DJs, Andy Dosty, warmed the room with impressive mixes. He invited guests to listen to popular songs such as "Linda", "Angelina", "My level", "Mane Me", "Can not let you go" and many others.
Irvin Mayfield took the stage after that. On the trumpet, he played "Ready or Not" live, followed by a jazz performance of "If I Rule The World".
He has also skillfully dressed the trumpet, supported by a singer and a rapper. Irvin Mayfield performed a song tribute to the late South African trumpet player Hugh Masekela and finished his performance with Bob Marley's 'Redemption Song'.
After another musical interlude with Andy Dosty, MC of the night, Nathaniel Attoh appeared on stage to present the 'Queen of the Night', Deborah Cox.
Deborah Cox, dressed in a beautiful wine dress, was quick to let her customers know how happy she was to perform in Ghana.
She quickly set to work after that. She began her performance with "Where are we going from here", a song that she dedicated to her husband after 20 years of marriage.
The singer born in Canada made an electronic version of her hit "Who Do You Love", followed by "Starting With You", "We Can not Be Friend" and "Evergreen" Sentimental.
She invited four women on stage to sing 'Sentimental' and they simply seduced the crowd with their interpretations of the song.
The third world has so much energy and life. Trained in 1973, they played as they'd been trained yesterday.
They invited guests to dance to songs like 'Now That We Found Love', 'Reggae Ambbadador' and 'Forbidden Love'.
Kojo Antwi – the best was surely and definitely saved for last. He proved at night that the maestro tag of music was not a coincidence.
Supported by his band, he took the customers back in time, listening to some of his evergreen melodies.
It would have been strange to see someone sitting while he was performing songs like "Medofo Pa", "Kakayi", "Tom And Jerry Aware", "Amirika", "Akyekyede3 Nante3", "Me Nya" Ntaban "," Adiepena ", & # 39; & # 39; Akonoba & # 39; The dance floor was full of dancers.
Kojo Antwi's performance was the icing on the cake of an impressive concert that ended in the wee hours of Sunday.
The second day of the Ghana World Music Festival continues at the Fantasy Dome of the Sunday trade fair with performances of Samini, Jupitar, Gasmilla and Lamisi. There will also be a DJ session.
