Kojo Antwi It is the general belief that music videos are usually made to boost the popularity and user level of consumers. That cannot be true of Kojo Antwi?s first video collection, which has just been released.
First, Kojo Antwi?s music needs no popularity boost because his songs are already massively popular. Second, the videos stand out as works of art in their own right both by their own right both by quality and by the stories they tell.
The DVD collection of a selection of music videos from Quajo Quajo Productions is a must-watch. The selections are Kojo Antwi?s hits past and present most of which have never been seen on TV.
From the very beginning, the video draws attention to artistic talents on the streets of Accra and Kumasi in confirmation of the love and adoration of Kojo Antwi?s many fans all across the country.
The maestro has been captured in various artistic posses on canvas, wood and even on walls alongside world leaders like Kofi Annan, Mohammed Ali and local heroes like President Kuffour and Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
Some of these paintings, drawn in the most exciting ways provide considerable entertainment. Hilarious or exceptional, these paintings, whether they are done to look unreal or realistic, seems to say something on their own in praise of their idol.
In many ways they provide a look into the lighter sides of Kojo?s personality and create an ambience, which suggests a close relationship between him and his admirers.
Known for his captivating love songs and the emotion it draws from so many listeners, the attention Kojo Antwi pays to the shooting of the videos as well as the building of concepts and the choice of settings all point to someone who is a perfectionist.
How Kojo Antwi managed to find such an old VW Beetle convertible in such a good condition to do the video on ?Kakayi? beats my imagination. On the road to Kojo Krom through Hell 666km, and Luvtown 799km, one has to follow the directions of the musical notes mounted by the roadside to get to the desired destination. ?Kakayi? was shot in a setting that suggests that, to fully tread love?s path, one must first go through pain (hell).
Likewise, one must overcome all sorts of obstacles and seek the intercession of a greater power to convey one sometimes on the road of love. ?In I like your style?, ?Soldier Kojo? had to weather the challenges thrown in his way as he hurried to find love.
Even though he got bitten by insects and got his long entangled in the twigs of trees in the forest, he waded through deep waters, climbed tall trees and ran on until he found love, well, not really.
These are just a few of the concepts to watch out for on the DVD. It also contains such hilarity and sentimentality in many forms. For example, in ?Bra? video, Kojo Antwi brings to life the colonial days in the form of an old fort, (Fort Amsterdam), a slave ship and even native colonial soldiers.
Shackled and separated from love, ?Bra? might not entirely focus on slavery per se but also on the cruelty of tearing love apart. It also brings our culture into focus in the choreography of its dances and also highlights our tourism destination.
However, The Musicman does not only not only tell stories, he also brings to life enormous imagination in a show that features Lauryn Hill and the Spice girls backing him on keyboard is Kiki Gyan of blessed memory.
Also on stage are some drastic dance moves and hairstyles to spice the whole show up. The video is energy packed and one will have to look closely to spot Kojo himself out. Not to worry, one simply has to look out for the naughtiest puppet.
Then one will also be enchanted by the true African beauties who supported him in making the ?Medofo Pa? song. Their agile maneouvring of the ?home-made? musical instruments and the attention they draw to themselves in beautiful bright colours which could get a couple of boys playing with their kites to forget all their toy and stand transfixed, starring at the sight.
That?s not all, some smoky drums, bass guitars, gramophones and cymbal blended with a little African ballet brought together a marvelous assembly of the most exotic instruments and people in the ?Nfa Me Nkoho? video. The involving violins and lights gave it all a dreamy atmosphere which made it even more emotionally charged.
Among the variety of videos are notable stars like Sonti Ndebele from South Africa who features in ?Me Nya Ntaban? and some vintage stars who provide a backdrop for all time classic ?Asaboni?.
To fully enjoy the ingenious talents of the maestro, one must pay visit to the special section to see a collection of his numerous awards from both local and international organisations. One can also get to watch the making of some of the videos and the story behind how the concepts were conceived.
The Kojo Antwi DVD collection is a definite must-have for one?s self or will do as the perfect gift at Christmas.
