Kojo Antwi loses to Ofori Amponsah

Kojo AntwiCome Monday December 24, Ofori Amponsah and friends will entertain music fans at a live musical concert at the National Theatre.


The much-awaited concert, dubbed “Ghana Rocks With Ofori Amponsah And Friends” is being organized to celebrate good Ghanaian music with Ofori Amponsah, a multiple award winner at the Ghana Music Awards for two consecutive years, and others including the ‘Alhaji Man’ from La Cote D’Ivoire, Jeff Bogologobo.


One of Ghana’s hottest sensations in gospel music, Lenny Akpadie would also be there and so would Shasha Marley, Daasebre Dwamena, Kwaw Kesse, Kofi B and others.


These artistes are set to rock the National Theatre come Monday, to usher in Christmas through good Ghanaian music.


On the other hand, Kojo Antwi, ‘the music man’, who is known for his annual December 24 musical concert where most of his fans turn up to have a direct feel of him on stage, has thrown in the towel, giving Ofori the green light on 24th night.


Kojo’s intention not to perform has given his fans the impression that it is because he feels he would be ignored by music fans as he has nothing new on the music market.


Not much has been heard from Kojo Antwi himself or his management team about his decision not to perform.


Over the years, Ofori Amponsah has remained faithful in Ghanaian highlife and has each year released hit songs that continue to top the charts. He has a large repertoire of music that can entertain fans for hours anytime he mounts the stage.


It would be recalled that same time last year, Ofori Amponsah rocked fans when he had his maiden Christmas bash at the National Theatre, where he treated thousands of fans to danceable tunes from his award winning albums.


Selling at GH¢30, tickets are currently available at Koala, Joy FM, Charterhouse and the National Theatre. The event is sponsored by Onetouch and supported by Joy FM, TV3 and 4Syte TV.
