Rocky Dawuni Sets Conference Centre Ablaze

He came virtually from nowhere to conquer the world of reggae music. Everywhere, people are talking about him. His music is being played on radio and on TV shows.

On March 3, he showed us he has the power to upstage many international artistes who have been in the field a lot longer. Before he came upstage, sexy ?don dada? Batman with his entourage shook the audience like never before. Treating them to sounds such as ?Odo? and the likes, most of the ladies were on their feet.

Highlife artiste Paapa Yankson and band set the stage alight with songs like ?Meware Wo? and the fascinating ?Awi?, which got most of the dignitaries like Alhaji Sidiku Buari and Mr Jake Obetsebi Lamptey singing along.

When it was time for the ?Ebe Ebee? (It?s ready) man A.B Crentsil, everyone knew we were in for good music. People are still talking about his performance and indeed, he has left an indelible mark in the minds of many.

One of highlife?s greatest finds, Gyedu Blay Ambolley led the audience into a night of glitz and glamour with his tremendous tracks and highlife rap with Mac Tontoh of Osibisa fame proving to be one of Ghana?s best musicians in history.

The time we were all waiting for came when the legendary Rocky Dawuni also known as Ghana?s Bob Marley stepped onto the stage. Performing songs from his latest album, ?Book of Changes?, the whole place was on fire.

No one was seen sitting. It was standing and dancing throughout. Thus, it was no surprise when he was recently awarded by the U.S Embassy and the Bokoor Popular African Music Foundation as Ghana?s Cultural Ambassador at a ceremony held at the W.E.B Du Bois Centre in Accra.

Created by Rocky and Aquarian Productions to commemorate Ghana?s Independence Day, Rocky Dawuni?s Independence Splash (Ghana Music Revival) was organised by Africa Live and sponsored by Radio Gold, Vibe FM, Atlantis Radio, Elike Designs, Unique Floral, TV3, Keba Clothing, Naturel, and Ivemike Creation.
