Obrafuor To Re-Live “Pae Mu Ka” At The Back In The Day Concert

The late 1990’s in Hiplife would have never been the same without the irrefutable contribution of one man and his producer.

When the upcoming rapper - yearning for recognition- met the amateur beat-maker - who made music only as a hobby- in the early 90’s through a mutual acquaintance, in Hammer’s own words, “we clicked”.

Together they came into the business and took it over with one putting out endless bars of poignant Twi rhymes filled with punch line precision spewing kitchen – sink realities against a background of hiphop bass and synths that got our heads bumping and mind working. To most industry pundits, the album that materialized from the combination of this dynamic duo spanned the best LP of the hiplife music genre.

Aptly titled “Pae Mu Ka”, the album, Obrafuor’s debut, was an acclaimed success and a breadth of fresh air on the music scene. One of the songs, ‘Kwame Nkrumah’ paid a resounding tribute to Osagyefo and encouraged Ghanaians to unite and work for the best of the country. ‘Pae mu ka’ covered various aspects of entertainment of society with songs like the title track, ‘Yaanom (announcing his presence), ‘Aden’ (talked about life’s struggles), ‘Agoro no aso’ (party song), and ‘Kokonsa’ (gossip). The album enjoyed a lot of airplay that to this day, the “intro and outro” tracks are still played during radio programmes.

Years later, the dynamic duo of the thriving rapper and the “reluctant” genius of a beat-maker return to take the stage once again for one night only as together, they re-live the “Pae Mu Ka” album experience in a performance that is set to make the create fireworks on the night of 21st September, 2012 inside the DOME of the Accra International Conference centre.

At the press launch of the “BACK IN THE DAY” Concert, Hammer, revealed that he may be performing a live beat making set on stage and it is expected that he may be doing the parts of the “Pae Mu Ka” album live as well in what indeed promises to be an experience to relish on the night which also happens to be Kwame Nkrumah’s birthday.
