Kanda Bongo Man
The main act for this year’s African Legends Night, Kanda Bongo Man is touching down in Ghana today ahead of the event on Saturday, September 30 at the Banquet Hall of the State House.
Unlike other international acts who come in either the day before or on the day of a concert, the Congolese legend is coming in two days early to ensure he is well prepared to give off his best for patrons as he promised in his promotional video.
It’s been many years since he last performed in Ghana and Kanda Bongo Man is eager to prove he has still got it when he mounts the stage.
A well known dancer, he is expected to show off his waist-wriggling moves while he performs hits like Kwassa Kwassa with its signature dance.
The line-up for this year’s Legends Night is one to beat as apart from Kanda Bongo Man, two of Ghana’s greatest artistes, ‘Abrantie’ Amakye Dede and Daddy Lumba will be on hand to thrill patrons. Talented upcoming act, E-shun is also on the bill.
Organisers of the event, Global Media Alliance have promised a show that will be better than ever and they are determined to live up to their promise.
Over the years, notable performers at the African Legends Night have included Hugh Masekela and Yvonne Chaka Chaka from South Africa; Femi Kuti from Nigeria, Freddy
Meiway from Cote d’Ivoire and Gyedu Blay Ambolley, George Darko, Efya, Steve Bedi and Ben Brako from Ghana.
For the second year in a row, Vodafone’s flagship brand, Vodafone Black is the title sponsor for the concert.
