“Adults Live” finally came alive last Saturday at the +233 Jazz Bar & Grill after being rained off and postponed over the Christmas Holidays. The hush hush event finally came to pass on the 4th of January and turned out to be a massive banger worth waiting for as the suggestive concert name and bill delivered a night of pure fired up excitement and sizzling performances from all artistes with distinctively memorable moments from start to finish.
The Shabo Crew who were spectacular on the night set the ball rolling bringing back nostalgic memories with mellow tempo retro hits that got everybody singing along. Kwabena Kwabena commenced the main show with a “performance of a lifetime” as one enthusiastic patron put it. The captivating performance lasted over an hour as fans kept asking for more. The undeniable king of this generation’s contemporary highlife put on a show of his vocal ability and stagecraft that patrons have never seen before. The captivating performance ended with a teaser of “Adult Music” with an offstage booming voice which turned out to be an intertwined introduction of the man known best to us as Samini. 
Samini’s voice engulfed the venue which was packed to the rafters, teasing an expectant audience who were kept rubber necking for about a minute till he emerged from behind, sending all into frenzy. His mastery of the stage, command of his space and band and the versatile performance truly exemplified an artiste worthy of his Best African Act MOBO Award and MTV Africa Music Best Performer.
The performance also brought out another side of Samini showcasing a complete entertainer beyond his vocal prowess. A couple of live freestyle stints performed with the subject matter taken directly out of the immediate environment and audience fused with rhyme and comedy set the venue ablaze. “This is bound to set the tone for the next “Adults Live” event” said Mr Nortey Dua, CEO of Karl Aubyn Events, the event organiser. As if that wasn’t enough, the introduction of Kaaki onstage performing Body Flame alongside Samini turned up the heat with scintillating moves and gestures enough to melt or fuse any compounds in a blast furnace.
The Dancehall queen’s confident and sassy dance moves and her incredible vocals only left the audience chanting “more”, and she couldn’t help but stay for one more, a performance of her current hit with Samini, Yooyi.
Speaking to Management of Samini, it was amazing to discover that the show was not heavily publicised and was only given minimal publicity on social media. More amazing was the fact that the event still sold out and a number of would be patrons had to be turned away. Organisers disclosed the reason behind the block on publicity being the need to nurture the new concept namely “Adults Live”, in an intimate setting. This also influenced the choice of venue, +233 Jazz Bar and Grill which sports the right ambience and discerning clientele, the perfect choice for a live outdoor experience in an intimate and relaxed setting.
The organisers also added that they have received very positive feedback from various sections of the public and have been compelled to make the show into a bigger production that will see new shades of Adult music performed live.

Anthony Pun Danning Samini’s Manager said “… Adults Live is here to stay”, and also apologies on behalf of Efya for not being able to turn up because she was ill on the night.
Adults Live was organised by Samini Music/HGF, Karl Aubyn Events and +233 Jazz Bar and Grill

Ijekimora activates new single “Fire” with intimate concert in Accra at Tunnel Lounge – SEE PHOTOS
Ijekimora – The Nigerian Afrobeats Singer has activated her new single “Fire” in Ghana with an intimate concert held on Friday, November 25, 2022.
“Fire”, her latest single which features South African Heavyweight, Busiswa, had a first time performance before audience at the plush restaurant located at Airport Residential Area, same premises as Silver Fox Ghana.
The night saw Ijekimora serenading audience to not just her latest single “Fire” but as well as her previously released songs “Sexy Papa”, Temptation” and “Stand By Me” (which featured Seyi Vibez). The night was also used to highlight her upcoming EP titled “Kimorality”.
The gig was steered by her Management as part of plans to fully activate her here in Ghana and the West African Region. Ijekimora is a Nigerian by birth but stayed in Dallas, USA, for a long time before relocating to Nigeria to pursue her music career. The Singer who has a soft spot for Ghana says she sees Ghana as her second home. Ever since she decided to go mainstream, she always does a Media Tour in Ghana prior to her releases.

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.
