Nana Kofi Asihene - Simple Sophistication

With a rather simple and unassuming demeanor, the creativity of Nana Kofi Asihene of NKACC is seriously different from his conduct. The photographer, graphic designer, videographer, wedding gown designer and event planner of a bundle is one of the persons I have been wanting to write about.

ADAMS APPLES - MY FIVE FALLS

Oh I love highlife – any type of highlife from the ones sung at the palm wine sellers’ joint to the ones with single instruments to the more complex ones of burgher highlife and the present day contemporary highlife, any goes for me. I love highlife to my very core. I had a heavy dose of highlife music while watching the first part of Shirley’s new ten part creation of a movie series – Adam’s Apples.

"ASSASSIN" STEVEN ADUSEI

Assassins love to kill, by any means and ways possible either for their financial reward or revenge while those who order them might do so for political reasons. Last year, I got myself shot by none other than the renowned “assassin”, Steven Adusei.

SONG REVIEW - EDEM'S "TOO MUCH"

Somewhere late last year, I chanced on a new single by Edem, usually called Ayigbe Edem, the local Hip-hop artist who plies his trade in the Ewe language. I could not pay much attention to it because I happened to be on public trotro but I did hear snippets of the song. What struck me firsthand was the danceable beat I inadvertently began to nod my head to.

GMA, . . .Noise and Nominations

People ask if the Ghana Music Awards and its nominations will ever have a discourse free year as it is evident that for the past years, every nominations list is met with a number of criticisms and surprises. As a human institution, these will always arise, however, the rate at which such discourse arises will determine whether we need to change to move forward.

Ghanaian Movies And Trailers

My kind of movies is the comedy, drama, usually black-cast American films. My reasons for liking them, well I cannot pinpoint. One thing I love about the American and European movies is the fact that when a movie is advertised, the little part they show you is enough to get you to understand the movie, get interested in it and at the same time, not giving you the full story. They show you just enough for you to think you really have to watch that movie.

I WANT TO COUNT YOUR WAIST BEADS!

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you long and wish for the love you once had from someone but this person is just not available anymore?
Have you wronged your loved one and later realized how bad you treated the partner, except that at the time of your regret, your partner had taken the lead and walked on?

MNET FACE OF AFRICA 2008 – KATE!

I remember Kate Tachie Menson as the slim tall science student who became an entertainment prefect in final year. This was at Labone Secondary School. I very well remember her shy demeanor, yet on stage, this demeanor simply got lost. She could dance well!

BECCA!

Ghanaian music has gone through a lot of metamorphoses. It is heartwarming that despite a lot of shrewd criticisms about making music that we can lay full claim to, we have some entertainers who can stand the test of time.

I heard about your Children’s Ball. The media campaign that followed it and the success of it has clearly showed that indeed you are a force to reckon with.

TECHNICALITIES IN MUSIC: MIXING AND MASTERING

There is an aspect of music production which many people so blindly ignore. It has to do mainly with technicalities of sound so not many people really understand it. Have you listened to good music through good speakers and have become baffled by the fact that you can hear a certain instrument in the left speaker but you cant hear it in the right speaker and vice versa?
