DECEMBER 2 REMEMBA




All roads led to the plush Accra International Conference Centre on Christmas Eve for the annual “Decemba 2 Rememba” programme, sponsored by, new entrant telecommunications company, Zain and powered by Citi 97.3 FM. The audience was left asking for more after five hours of intense and classy musical performance by the artistes on the night.
After a two-hour delay, the show commenced with a brief introduction of the Masters of Ceremonies, Jessica Opare-Saforo and Sammy Forson, one of the finest late afternoon programme presenters in the city. Musician-comedian, A-Plus, set the ball rolling for the eventful night with his usual ridicule of politicians, cracking some of his humorous jokes to the amusement of the audience. The euphoria that A-Plus’s performance engendered, was still high in the auditorium when the hilarious boxer, Braimah Kamoko, popularly known as “Bukom Banku”entered the hall - a big surprise.
“Sexy” Tinny, usually noted for his late performances, was one of the early artistes to mount the stage for the night. With his usual swagger, he set the conference hall agog with hits from his debut album, “Makola Kwakwe” and then on to his current album. “Aletse Kankpe” had the ladies screaming when he took off his shirt showing off his nicely built body. Hiplife new kid on the block Asem gave a good account of himself with duets, supported by Irene Logan and Tinny.
Okyeame Quame had a choreographed performance with his brother’s group “Bradez” before his solo performance. Quame’s act nearly ended in disaster when one of his backup dancers almost got burnt with the fire he was playing with. Tic Tac might be dormant in the music industry at the moment but the “Kangaroo” man is not yet finished as he gave an inspiring performance with hit tracks from his discography.
The group Praye is assuming an unrivalled status as the foremost showstoppers in Ghana and it was clearly manifested on the night. The white attired and jeans dressed audience sang along with Praye to songs from “I and my Shordy are one” album to the current one “Roll Koll”. It is usually said the best is saved for the last and Praye did perfectly that as they sang arguably the hottest song in the country at the moment - “Angelina” to bring the curtains down on an eventful show.
Other artistes who performed on the night were songtress Becca, the affable Kwaku Gyasi, Christina Love, and Irene Logan. Big ups to Citi FM for organizing another inspiring show indeed a “Decemba 2 Rememba”!!!
