Inside Ghana’s First Music iPhone App

Hello Ghana music lovers,SriBuO is finally on the iPhone and iPad!! We partnered with Mobbase to deliver you this app. As far as we know, this is the first app of its kind for Ghana music and we wouldn’t have been able to make this piece of history without your support. Let’s start with the basics. SriBuO’s iPhone App is available on iTunes for only $1.99.

Buy from iTunes

The main features of the app include Blogs, Sites, News, Twitter, Music and Videos. We will walk you through each of these one by one. In case you were wondering, all the in App design and artwork was done by one of Ghana best graphic designers – Eric Aduamah, CEO of Freawear Clothin. Check out their page on Facebook

BLOGS This feature is fairly simple. The main goal for this feature was you keep you up to date with the latest blog posts for happenings in Ghana music. Our blog articles link to blog posts for contributors on Ghanamusic.com. They do have some rather interesting and unique perspectives on industry happenings.

SITES The Sites section includes links to various authoritative websites that have the latest and greatest happenings in Ghana music. These include, but are not limited to – SriBuO, Ghana Music, PinnacleGH, LifeStylzGH, Museke and a couple of others. We will be updating these links as and when needed.

NEWS This feature is very similar to the Blogs section. We will be bringing you the latest news on Ghana music from authoritative sources like ghanamusic.com

TWITTER

Much like in the Sites section, we have aggregated Twitter feeds from the best sources in Ghana music and will be bringing them right to your iPhone. You can respond to tweets and add hash tags for various topics from right within the app!

MUSIC

Now this is where things get interesting! SriBuO usually releases with a cadence of once per week. The music section of this app will help you stay updated with the latest releases in Ghana music. Also, you will be able to stream exclusive, full tracks from these albums along with links to buy if you would like to do so. In effect you will be getting a constant stream of new music for the price of one app (or two singles on iTunes), how cool is that?!! We did this because we love Ghana music and want to share it with you.

VIDEOS

The final and most unique feature in this app are our videos. We bring you the latest music videos in Ghana music. Our featured videos are collected from various sources. In addition we have future plans to bring you full movies so stay tuned.

By now I hope you are itching to get your hands on this ground breaking application. Go ahead and download it from iTunes!!
