Photos: Okyeame Kwame receives plaudits at ‘OK Stripped’
From the show of terrific energy, sheer agility, masterclass stagemanship and an unmatched sophistication, celebrated musician Okyeame Kwame has proven yet again that he is evergreen and out of his league. At the popular +233 Pub in Accra last Friday, the man acclaimed as the ‘Mr. Versatile’ successfully staged the fourth edition of his OK STRIPPED live-band concert –– and ended up blowing off his audiences and receiving the plaudits!
In a streak of wondrous performances and matured stage presentations, the rapper held his audiences spellbound, and got them debating whether a show at the +233 could get any better.
“I am a big fan of live-band music, but what I have experienced here tonight, in terms of the excitement; I think is unsurpassed,” Mrs. Miriam Obeng, a banker, told this writer after the concert.
Another patron, Mr. Kwame Duku, who called himself a regular +233 comer, also described the event as the finest he has witnessed.
“I pass here all the time, every Friday. I have not seen any night like this. That Okyeame guy is amazing. This is my first time watching him in live performance and I think his show is the finest to come here,” he observed.
The OK STRIPPED is a fundraiser concert hosted annually by Okyeame Kwame at the +233 Pub in support of his philanthropic projects, such as his free nationwide Hepatitis B screening and vaccination.
Last Friday’s event, which started from 9pm till 1am (Saturday), witnessed performance from not only Okyeame Kwame, but also some of finest artistes who are currently the toast of music-lovers.
Kuami Eugene, who recently won ‘Highlife Artiste of the Year’ at the 2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), proved his mettle by performing not only his songs (i.e. ‘Angela,’ ‘Adwen Fi’ and ‘Confusion’) but also those of Highlife legends like Amakye Dede and Kojo Antwi.
Other performers, viz: Akwaboah, Kidi, Mzvee, Adina, Sista Afia, Abochi, Kurl Song, rapper Cabum, poet RyhmeSonny and comedian Nino, also delivered powerful presentations that got the patrons either trooping to the dancefloor or laughing the lungs out.
However, it was Okyeame Kwame, the host artiste, who astounded patrons the most, mainly because of the exceptional energy, agility, versatility and the sophistication (in fashion-sense) what marked out his performances.
With his presentations interspersing those of the other performers, Okyeame managed to win the hearts of every patrons with one act or the other.
Changing into four different costumes on the night, Okyeame added a different element to each performance he delivered, which took the experience of his audiences into a different realm.
Certainly, indescribable was the feeling and experience of watching the evergreen Okyeame Kwame perform live some of his classic numbers (eg. ‘Woara,’ ‘Faithful,’ ‘Woso,’ ‘Anaa,’ ‘Masan Aba,’ ‘Tintin To,’ etc) with the High School Band led by the celebrated guitarist Dan Grahl.
Also, Okyeame’s leadership in the Hiplife industry was further accentuated by how he worked with the young artistes on the night, sometimes joining them on stage to deliver a duet before their performances ended.
Proceeds from the concert, sponsored by telecom giant Vodafone, go into purchasing vaccines for Okyeame Kwame’s free Hepatitis B screening and vaccination campaign which the rapper has been embarking upon in the last 10 years.

Photos: Mr Drew concludes Seleey concert 2022 in epic style
The second iteration of Mr Drew’s concert came to a successful close over the weekend, more immense than the first.
Striking is the word! Mr Drew’s just-ended Seleey concert 2022 was nothing short of epic, top to bottom. It was a long, fun-packed night that saw the Highly Spiritual Music artist bring the explosive ambiance at his open-air venue to a memorable close, following an unreal list of performers, stunning team-ups and a row of outstanding performances from the man of the hour himself.
On Saturday night (November 26), Mallam was on fire the entire time and for a good reason. There was no dull moment; the ambiance at its Kokroko Station was explosive, buzzing with the voices of the thousands that were present to sing along with the town’s hottest export yet, Mr Drew and the exclusive lineup of artists tipped to show up on the dazzling stage with him: Medikal, Kuami Eugene, Sista Afia, KiDi, Fameye and Empress Gifty, among others and what an experience it was.
Mr Drew and Medikal
In addition to performing some of his biggest hits – ‘Dayana’, ‘Mood’, ‘S3k3’ and the much-recent ‘2 Shots’ – for fans, Mr Drew had an even bigger surprise brewing unbeknownst to the crowd. He soon upped the intensity of their roars by unveiling a trio of appearances that saw Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, and Shatta Wale take to the stage with him to immortalize the already feature-packed night.
Sharing his thoughts on what he achieved two nights ago, the vocal powerhouse said: “Big shoutouts to my co-stars – you already know how we do – for coming through to shakeup Mallam with me last Saturday. The turnout was crazy! I’m glad I could give fans another amazing time ahead of December’s festivities for the second time in two years. We’re certainly doing this again: SELEEY to the whole wiase”.
Mr Drew and Kuami Eugene
Done in partnership with DEEPLIVE AFRICA CONCEPT and Highly Spiritual Music (Mr Drew’s label), the Seleey concert 2022 is sponsored by HD+ (via HD+ Decoder) and Malta Guinness, powered by Twitchouse Marketing Services Limited and is arguably the show to beat this year as it stands. Just like last year’s iteration, there was a clean-up exercise organized on the concert’s grounds hours before the show, all facilitated by Malta Guinness, who distributed some merchandise to participants shortly after.
With the eventful night now immortalized in the minds and hearts of fans, next year couldn’t come any sooner for some.
