According to MyjoyOnline;

As Ghana gears up for this year’s ‘Back In The Day’ concert, organizers have disclosed that patrons, who will be attending will be served some of the 1990s favourite goodies including ‘Poki’ and ‘Alewa’.

The two goodies, one an ice cream – Poki – and the other a candy – Alewa – gained popularity in the 1990s and they were the favourites of kids and the youth of that era.

As the ‘Back In The Day’ concert gears up for a showdown on December 6 at the Accra International Conference Centre, organizers say the ‘Poki’ and ‘Alewa’ are part of the 1990s goodies that fans should expect on the day.

Ahead Of December 6 ‘Back in the Day’ Concert, Let’s Look At Reggie Rockstone!

Reggie Rockstone
Reggie Rockstone

Despite his inherent ‘show-offness’, he is not just called the Grandpapaz for nothing—he started a whole music genre which has become the strongest in Ghana, called Hiplife…

From where some of us sit, Hiplife has become more than a musical genre. It is not far from a movement or a lifestyle as it has its own unique & intriguing identity.

Reggie Rockstone (real name Reginald Osei) was born in United Kingdom but it may have been his subsequent stay in United States of America which sparked the whole Hiplife movement in him.

Riding on the back of the then Hip Hop culture which he was over exposed to, Reggie succeeded in knitting a genre so close to Hip Hop in one sense but so far from it in terms of style, language and audience…

Like most movements, it started at isolated corners—unnoticed. But it is said that, by 1994, Reggie Rockstone had attained a huge following—and had succeeded in choking the millions of Ghanaians with what at the time was seen as having no future…

I hate to look at the many awards Reggie Rockstone has won because that is not the perfect indication of his achievements. For the best outlook at his accomplishment, just think HIPLIFE!

And apart from the fact that the night will witness performances from several talented musicians who helped define Ghana music and gave it the needed roots to grow, ‘Naughty by Nature’, the Grammy Award-winning American hip hop trio from East Orange, New Jersey will headline the event.

With ‘Naughty by Nature’ ready to take us back to the days when their hit song “O.P.P.” which was massively enjoyed in Ghana propelling their first album ‘Naughty by Nature’ to platinum status, you will definitely have a lot to relate to—-and a lot to bring back those sweet memories.

All the three members of the early defining Hip-Hop group-Naughty by Nature (formed in 1989) which consist of Treach (Anthony Criss), Vin Rock (Vincent Brown), and the DJ Kay Gee (Keir Gist) will for the first time rock a Ghanaian stage and thrill the audience with great tunes.

As one of the few Hip Hop acts who were able to balance success on the pop charts with hardcore credibility, you cannot doubt their street and commercial greatness—and backed by countless hits, they will make it a true ‘Back in the Day’ experience.
