The cross-country tour dubbed ‘Gimme Pinch Tour’ will start from August 24 -September 1 but will be preceded by the talent search dubbed, ‘The Big in Ghana Talent Hunt’.

Two artists from each city will get a publishing deal and audition for FOKN Bois who will select one artist from each city to take along on the ‘Gimme Pinch Tour’. In addition to performing with the FOKN Bois, winners will also get over GH¢ 20,000 worth of prizes, including a cash prize of GH¢ 3,000, a recording deal, professional video, management and promotion. The ‘Gimme Pinch Tour’ will hold in the various cities as follows: Takoradi, Jubilee Park, August 24 Tema, Chemu Park, August 25 Kumasi, Culture Centre, August 31 Accra, Holy Gardens, September 1 From September 3-9, the public gets to vote for an ultimate winner out of the four winners via SMS.

M3nsa and Wanlov, who have already taken contemporary Ghanaian music to amazing heights by sharing international stages with Snoop Dogg, Sway, Femi Kuti, Little Brother, Irie Maffia and The Gorillaz, are very optimistic that at the end of the tour, Ghana will be more than united and ready for the upcoming election. They comment: “With the elections coming up we want to spread the message of peace and hope hence as we tour these four cities in the country by the kind courtesy of Bavaria, we will also let Ghana decide which of the underexposed talents in music should achieve their dreams.”]]>
