Front veiw of the Temptations Nite Club ?There?re only two night clubs in Accra, Nana Kwame Bediako?s Temptations, Duke?s Boomerang and the rest?, top radio disc jockey Kwame Fakye aka Swift, over the weekend opinionated to this reporter in a chat. In fact it was when we were discussing which nightclub could suitably host reggae superstar Shaggy?s after party on January 4th.
Earlier on, bids from the two hottest nightclubs were sent to event organizers CharterHouse but our sources there reveal that, so far, Temptations, the nation?s largest and most attended night club (they host the most foreign and expensive crowds in Accra?s nitelife) will have that one-in-a-million chance to host the ~Mr. Luver Man?s After Party~.
The ?make-swift? nightclub, according to our source, won the bid for the following reasons. Temptation is the biggest Night Club in Ghana at the moment. The well-decorated street at Osu named Vegas Boulevard by its owner Nana Kwame makes the club very attractive and business-minded.
Nana Kwame, who on Monday (Dec. 22) sent his proposal was so sure he was going to be the man after CharterHouse inspected his joint a few days ago.
For your information Shaggy will not necessarily perform at the after-party but one would understand the money raving moment it would be for the club who pulls him in on any of the nights he spends in Ghana.
My information is that Nana Kwame was also ready to make available some other facilities (not good to mention here) for Shaggy?s use.
Shaggy on stage @ the Speke Resort Munyonyo on New Years Eve In a related development, information reaching us, courtesy The Monitor, Uganda, the most significant thing at reggae star Shaggy?s New Year Eve concert at the Speke Resort, Munyonyo was the sitting arrangement. Partitioned into Platinum, Gold and Silver seating, all categories had a good view of the stage.
Before his second song however, Shaggy asked the crowd to come forward so he could feel them. The younger people at the back jumped over the barriers and rushed forward.
Shaggy is quite pompous. He walked onto the stage in with a swagger after his back-up outfit the Hot Shot band that includes Rayvon, Rikrok, Brian and Tony Gold, had taken their place behind their instruments.
He wore a leather jacket over a flowered white shirt, faded blue denim jeans and white trainers and very large shades. He held a white tumbler, which he handed to a stagehand, before opening his jacket to reveal a cordless microphone sticking out of his trouser waistline.
After his first song, he was quite certain the platinum crowd was too cold for his liking and that is when he beckoned the active gold and silver audience to move close to the stage. ?I did not come to perform an opera,? he said before reaching down to touch the stretched hands.
It was clear Shaggy was happy to be back here and said he kept saying spending New Year?s Eve in Uganda would be a tradition for his band. Sharing the stage with his all-male band, Shaggy put on an entertaining two-hour show, that started just after 10 p.m.
Shaggy combines a musky sensuality with raw sexuality. A skilled and remarkable singer, he sang with ease, drawing from his collection of old and new songs, 19 in all that evening.
Oh Boy, That Girl, Boombastic, Oh Carolina, By the Rivers of Babylon, Two Way, In the Club, Lucky Day, Angel, Carolina, Freaky Girl, It Wasn?t Me, Lucky Day, Strength of a Woman, Genie, Keeping It real, Dance and ShoutShaggy just went on and on.
Fans cheer raggae singer Shaggy at Munyonyo on New Years Eve Freaky Girl was preceded by advice to practice safe sex for anyone that wanted to get freaky. As if to show him that it knew better, the audience threw the Protector condoms at him. But it was the women who got more of Shaggy.
A slight drizzle got everyone worried that the skies would open up and Shaggy sang Keeping it Real under a leaking stage tauplin. The audience did not expect Dance and Shout would be his last. And then event emcee Uncle Mitch, went on to usher in the New Year prematurely, nine minutes before midnight.
After the colourful display of fireworks, the driving audience was up for a real nightmare. A traffic gridlock turned the seven-kilometre journey from Munyonyo to Kampala into a near four-hour snail-paced one.
