CONCERTS…CONCERTS…WHERE WILL YOU BE?

The year has almost ended. And here I am asking the ‘how-did-we-get-here?’ question. It was some months ago, that we got ushered into the year 2016, clutching on to renewed hopes and dreams.

It has been a year where his talent […]

THROW BACK: DADDY LUMBA – AHENFO KYINYE ft. PAT THOMAS

    In the face of limited arts venues and support, creative artists are still finding ways to push their creativity and many people are buying into it.
