Last Saturday, at the hall week of Saba Hall of University of Ghana
gathered great artists from Ghana to torture the entertainment aspect of
the week long celebration. Gospel artiste Herty Borngreat, E.L,
D-Black, Edem, Kwaw Kesse, Dobble, Dr.Slim and a couple of artistes were
there to make sure students enjoyed the weekend after a week long
lectures.
E.L who was billed to perform also at Kaalu beach party on Sunday
October 21, did not perform that much since he wanted all the students
to meet him. Students who attended the show were eager to see E.L
perform a whole track of which E.L didn’t want to.
At long last, when that kaalu hitmaker decided to rock students with
his hit track, 'Kaalu', a student whose name cant be disclosed, from no
where landed on stage dancing as if his head was lost.
When organizers of the show decided to drag him down, E.L signaled them
to leave him to do whatever he wanted to do on stage. After the four
minute track ended, the student jumped off stage and nobody saw his
where about again.
Where there is a gathering of DJs there is good music! The making of
good music is no easy thing thus artists who tend to make hit tracks
need to be applauded and DJ’s do great justice to that. Every now then,
people who have excelled in the industry need acknowledgement and
recognition for their exceptional work and that is why “THE DJ AWARDS”
is here!
DJs in Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa would be representing and would
get the turntables blazing in flames as they scratch, spin and do all
that they do best to get the beats and tracks banging hot!
Ghana’s own TWENS, the duo Hip Life/ Hip Pop/ R&B group has been
spot lighted as been makers of great tunes which DJ’s across the
continent love. With the various singles hits such, “Asem Ben Nie ft.
Kwabena Kwabena” , “Playas Want [Reloaded]”, “Put Me On Six” and their
latest hit “Makuma ft. Coded [4x4]”, they are slated to perform LIVE on
the DJ AWARDS stage on Friday 26th October.
CypressGH talking to Merqury Quaye the event organizer was told he has
no doubt the duo would crank the event another notch high. Meeting up
with TWENS later, Manuel TWENS aka GBESO and Henry TWENS aka NATURE both
said, they are fully geared towards shaking the stage and making sure
the awards is on pace with great momentum. “We will do what only TWENS
know how to do and that is to perform and excite the audience”, Gbeso
said.
Lately, there seems to be some kind of friction going on between the
gospel musicians FOKN Bois and the self proclaimed hustler of the year
rapper D-Black.
Last week, Wanlov the Kubolor alleged that D-Black wrote Sarkodie’s BET
cypher verse of which D-Black responded by mocking Wanlov’s infamous
manhood.
Days later, the kelewele pimping rapper and half duo of FOKN Bois – M3nsa Ansah has jumped into the hurdle as well.
On Wednesday night, M3nsa declared he is envious of D-Black and literally begging for his help to ‘blow up’.
Sonnie Badu, one of Africa’s biggest gospel
music artistes, has stressed that in his quest to give his fans the best
of music, 15 personalities, from various parts of the world, constantly
vet each song he records before they are released.
The artiste boasts of several international awards including both the Trailblazer Award and Album of the Year award at the 3rd Africa Music Awards, and was the first African to perform at both the Wembley Stadium and the Wembley Arena in London.
He told Myjoyonline.com
in an interview that the route to attaining success in his musical
career is to write good songs and also get mentors to guide him. He
however stressed that, the most important ingredient for him is
“humility.”
Sonnie Badu advised upcoming musicians: “If you are
writing a song and it is not good and someone tells you it doesn’t sound
good just change it. Before I release one song, I have 15 people that I
send it to. The moment they tell me this is not good, I take it out or
if they say yes, then it is good.”
The Baba singer said he
never gets offended whenever the 15 personalities reject his song and
he sometimes weighs the number who are for or against the song before he
decides what to do.
Sonnie Badu, is set to rock the Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre on December 1, 2012 in a concert dubbed, Sonnie Badu Concert. Several renowned local and international gospel acts will also support the concert.
Being
his fourth concert in Ghana, “It will be one of the best shows Ghana
has ever experienced. It is going to be a different gospel show. I
promise Ghana that the Heavens will kiss the earth.”
The health condition of Hiplife artiste Castro De Destroyer real name
Theophilus Tetteh has been in the media for a couple of days now since
Television hostess Baby Dapaah mentioned last Saturday on her “Hot
Gossip” programme aired on TV3 that Castro is seriously sick, he can’t
walk and that his health condition is getting worse by the day.
This some section of the media has interpreted as spiritual and linked
it to an issue that came up in the media that Castro has refused to
fulfill a promise he made to a so called fetish woman after she helped
him spiritually to make his album a hit.
There are rumors all over the media that Castro has been attacked by
illness as a result of the fetish woman who cursed him on Okay FM few
months ago when she was interviewed.
It will be recalled that sometime this year, one fetish priestess
appeared on Okay FM claiming that Castro has ignored a sacrifice he had
to do for her after helping him come out with his hit song ‘African
Girls’ which featured soccer superstar Asamoah Gyan.
An allegation Castro denied blatantly and laughed over labeling it as
false and lacking facts and substance on rumor mongering segment
“Akekakeka” on Okay FM’s “Ekwanso dwodwo” drive time program. Some
months after the accusation and the denial, fans of Asamoah Gyan’s
(Black Stars Striker) crony Castro has been rumored to be suffering from
an ailment which is almost paralyzing him.
Though different people have been making many assertions on the issue,
manager for DJ Amess told Peacefmonline.com this morning that Castro is
not under any curse as its being rumored around town.
‘Where are all these rumors coming from I don’t understand why some
people will decide to fuel this allegation because Castro is alright
nobody has cursed him”.
However, his manager confirmed that Castro injured his foot in Ghana
few weeks ago but he failed to treat it well and travelled abroad with
it where he suffered another injury on the same foot. According to DJ
Amess, his condition got very serious to the extent that he couldn’t
walk as some point but he is getting better. “I can say as a matter of
fact that he is currently receiving traditional treatment in Takoradi”.
Amess explained further to Peacefmonline that he was sent to Takoradi
because he was still busy trying to go through his everyday schedule
like; going to the studio to record, granting interviews among other
things as though nothing was wrong with him which was delaying his
recovery. “So we decided to take him to Takoradi where his family lives
for him to be able to take some time off the public eye, spend more time
with family, relax and recover fast”.
He assured fans of Castro not to be alarmed because he can now walk and
go about his daily activities. Amess promised that Ghanaians should
expect the biggest come back from Castro with yet another chart topping
hit album very soon.
