Daddy Lumba [DL] For ‘Legends & Legacy Ball’ 2011!

blank
Celebrating Daddy Lumba

In the western world, legends are honoured, appreciated and celebrated all the time. They are awarded in their various fields of endeavour when they are alive and active. Even when they finally give up the ghost, they still get acknowledgements and recognition.

Celebrating legends posthumously has become the order of the day in our part of the world. Legends die many years before they are celebrated or anything done in their names.

Imajin Advertising, an event promotion and management outfit based inAccrabelieves it is prudent if legends are honoured and appreciated while they are alive and can relish in the accolades, praise and other benefits that come from being recognized as a legend.

The company feels it is wrong to wait till a legend dies before praises and accolades are showered on them, when the same can be done whiles they are alive. Owing to the above, an event ‘Legends & Legacy Ball’, to honour living legends has been instituted.

The ‘Legends & Legacy Ball’ is an annual event to honour music legends. As time goes on, the company hopes to extend the event to Kumasi to cater for the Northern sector of the country.

The maiden edition of the ‘LAL Ball’ focuses on legendary high life musician born and christened Charles Kojo Fosu but known by many as Daddy Lumba and recently responds to ‘DL’.

A Night Of ‘Weed’, Rains As Samini & Mavado ‘Lighted’ Accra Sports Stadium!

blank

Misfortunes sometimes are blessings in disguise. Samini and Mavado show which took place last Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium was a typical example. The misfortune of postponing the show from October 1 turned out to be a blessing in disguise on October 8.

The show, which many people thought will flop, turned out to be one of the highly successful shows held at the Sports Stadium. The show was postponed due to the hurriedly arranged friendly match between two of the most successful, decorated and glorious teams in the country, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.

Many, particularly people who had bought their advance tickets became worried. The organisers also panicked since they didn’t know of the repercussion of such an untimely decision, especially when they were not thoroughly informed of the decision earlier as expected.

Even at the press conference to formally announce the postponement of the show, the organisers were petrified because the new date means, they would have to clash with the annual Joy FM Old Skuul Reunion which happens on the same day at the Trade Fair Centre.

The fact that, the Old Skuul Reunion was free, I reckoned on the faces of some of the organisers that, they felt they were in some trouble.

“What then happens to their investment, if the people all decide to make their way to the Trade Fair Centre for the Old Skuul Reunion?” I asked one of the organisers. “Ebenezer, we will use the Old Skuul Reunion to get people to attend this program. All we have to do is to push the message hard”, was a replied that accompanied my worried question.

If I was to choose between the Old Skuul and the Samini/Movado gig, I would have opted for the latter since the former has lost it appeal from my perspective. But honestly, I was nervous for the organisers because the Old Skuul Reunion was free whiles the Samini/Mavado gig attracted 20 and 40 GHC.

But I knew MTN has been the heart of Ghana music for many years until recently when they had to hand over the sponsorship of the country’s music awards to Vodafone. I know they are still committed at projecting Ghana music. Fantasy Entertainment has done it before. They brought the American Hip Hop artiste Rick Ross to the country. Samini Music is a label headed by a very serious musician.
