Were you are the Yegoala Nite Club yesterday? Well if you were not then you really missed a whole lot of fun last night considering the fact that yesterday was marked the climax of the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations and the MTN Sports Academy boys were in the club for their pre-eviction party.

The club was filled to capacity, boys-boys and girls-girls all over the place, nice skimpy dresses in every corner and good enough to make your jaw break for the night.

Ghana Music Award Winning Hiplife Trio Praye were there to threat guests at Yegoala Night Club to good Ghanaian Hiplife music. Also on stage last night was Castro The Destroyer who put the club on fire when he performed his hit single TOFFEE.

Join us at the Yegoala Night Club coming weekend and party with the MTN Academy boys for another pre-eviction party.

MUSIC DIVA, Mzbel, otherwise known as Nana Akua Amoah seems to be having more surprises for her admirers after reports that she would be tying the knot with one Leke, a British-born Nigerian and proprietor of a cable television network in London, in December this year.

The hiplife queen who has been raped twice in her musical career, said she was putting an end to the wearing of Western bikinis which had over the years attracted public criticisms.

“When I perform in Western costumes, many people criticize that it is not African. I want to put an end to all that. I have changed my style. I’m now going the African way and I have chosen the ‘dipo’ because my mom is a Krobo,” said Mzbel.

Her comments came after Bola Ray asked her last Saturday on TV3’s Music Music, why she decided to wear a ‘dipo’ outfit to perform on the programme; She got on stage wearing something more or less like a morning coat but after a short while she removed it to reveal the “dipo” outfit underneath.

Mzbel’s performance that night, according to one of her numerous fans who Beatwaves spoke to, said “Mzbel’s performances lacked the energy expected of her. She is growing too fat. She should trim her tummy.

Her performances can be likened to that of Britney Spears so-called comeback gigs during the MTV Base Awards night.”
Mzbel’s video on her new album has started showing on TV.

Unfortunately she is not dressed in the ‘dipo’ outfit as she hinted on Music Music.

May be the wearing of the dipo outfit would only be applicable when she is performing on stage.

A special music jamboree would precede the draw of the Ghana 2008 African Cup of Nations scheduled for the International Conference Center in Accra on Friday, October 19.

The inter-participating nations’ jamboree pieced together by the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of the Ghana ACN 2008 to celebrate the qualification of the 15 countries that will join Ghana for the three-week fiesta is slated for the forecourt of the State House a few hours before the draw.

Magnus Rex Danquah, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the LOC told the five-hour long event.

The musical explosion and cultural exposition would house Ivorian music Super Star, Freddie Meiway and Ghanaian music sensations that will include Samini, Wutah, Mzbel, King Ayisoba and Amakye Dede among others on the same stage.

Officials of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and representatives of the 16 National Football Federations would attend the jamboree, which would be open to the public.

The COO said priority of seating would be offered to government officials, Members of Parliament, members of the Diplomatic Corps, stakeholders of the tournament and traditional authorities when they all come together to celebrate a night of culture, musical entertainment and fashion shows.

Danquah said Mad. Patricia Appiagyei, Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive, Mr Stanley Agyiri-Blankson of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, Mr Philip Nkrumah, Shama Ahanta East Metropolitan Assembly and Mr Mohammed Amin Anta of the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly would make presentations on progress made on the four venues.

“In order not to lose out of the economic opportunities that the event will generate at the four venue cities, Municipal and District Assemblies are being given the opportunity to use the jamboree to market their economic and tourism prospects to roll out hospitality packages for the respective countries they will be hosting.” The four venue cities are Accra, Kumasi, Sekondi and Tamale.

It is quite uncommon to see all the hot artistes in the country performing on the same platform.

Come Saturday October 13, Batman Samini, VIP and other popular artistes would converge on the Nima High Street to give music fans appealing renditions at a show dubbed SALAFEST, to mark the Eid-ul Fitr celebrations.

The occasion is to foster religious and social harmony in all Muslim denominations.

The programme, organized by Vibe FM in collaboration with the Council of Muslim and Northern Zongo Chiefs would be sponsored by Voice of America, the public Affairs Unit of the American Embassy and MTN.

In attendance would be His Excellency Alhaji Aliu Mahama, who would be the special guest and other government officials as well as traditional leaders.

According to a release issued on Wednesday, different groups from Niger, Mali, Benin, Chad and Nigeria would join in the celebration.

The activities, scheduled to start at 2pm, would take off with the chief of Nima, Nii Futa I, handing over horses as custom demands to various community chiefs amid drumming, singing and dancing from various cultural groups.

That would also involve representatives from the sub-region who are expected to exhibit rich and colourful culture.

The other artistes on the bill are Sidney, Tic Tac, FBS and Buk Bak, with Reggie Rockstone and Black Santino of Vibe FM as the MCs.
