Fans of Jamaican Reggae super star Sizzla Kalonji have waited so long to see their idol perform live in Ghana for the first and to put up one of his “more fire” performances but it appears he fell into the wrong hand on his first visit to Ghana over the weekend.
Prior to his coming, no proper publicity plan had been laid out to make sure the anticipation was high. Apart from a few radio and TV mentions, a handful of newspaper write ups a few insertions and on the internet, the organizer did not make any extra effort to publicize the event which was scheduled to take place at the over 40 thousand capacity Ohene Djan sports stadium. The media had no idea as to when Sizzla was touching down in Ghana.

He is arguably one of the finest on the airwaves and television. But dropping a pop-rock album last November came as a complete shocker and a stunner, especially considering the quality of the album.
What everybody expected from him after the drop of the album and its success was an exceptional video to topple his excellence. Contrary to what a lot of people expected the first video of the title track in My Head” has suffered a rather unfortunate fate since its premiere on Allo Tigo a month ago.

Interesting heading, yes I know but I have a feeling that by the time I’m done you would understand why I choose to describe this year’s nominations for the Ghana Music Awards as such, contrary to what Kwaw Kesse thinks. As we go along you would notice that I do agree with Kwaw on some of the issues he raised.
First of all I think majority of the nominations were in order and expected. Sarkodie had a very good year and he topped the nominations deservedly. Ayigbe Edem, Bradez, 4x4, Wutah all made major waves in the year under consideration and no one can begrudge their nominations.

When it first hit the shores of West Africa in the early part of last century, principally in the then Gold Coast, and to some degree Sierra Leone and Nigeria, the only name they could come up with for it was a descriptive one: HIGHLIFE.
A fusion of indigenous dance rhythms, melodies and western influences including regimental music. Highlife’s early instrumentation varied from African drums to harmonies, guitars and accordions.
