Musical concerts have been held in some towns in Brong Ahafo to mark Ghana’s 50th independence anniversary celebration.

The concert featured some of Ghana’s top hi-life musicians, including Kweku Agyeapong Danemah, alias ‘Dr’ Paa Boboo, Abriekyieba Kofi Sammy and Maxwell Boateng, also known in Ghana’s music circles as ‘Teacher’ Boateng.

Unity International Bank and Uncle Sam Beachmann of Twilight Media Production provided the backing.

Others also gave spectacular renditions at the concerts held at Seikwa, Wamfie Japekrorn, Berekum and Sunyani.

Music lovers who thronged the halls for the concert were glued to their seats as they danced to the scintillating renditions of the popular artistes.

The event was however not meant for only lovers of highlife music as Isaac Wilson, a Canada-based young Ghanaian gospel singer gave a very good account of himself and won the hearts of most of the fans, as his performance threw them into frenzy.

Francis Mensah Twum, Chief Executive Officer of Synergic Systems, owners of the Asesedwa Music Production and event organisers, said the programme would be replicated in all the district capitals in the region.

He said the rationale for the show in Brong-Ahafo was to highlight the region’s rich human and natural resources, which he said, could be tapped for the creation of employment for the teeming unemployed youth.
