Event publicist and internet blogger, Kwabena Agyeman-Kobia previews what is anticipated in Oseikrom this Xmas in the following article.

Similarly ,the man largely considered as Ghana’s most internationally accomplished and recognized artiste ,Mr Music man Kojo Antwi, who performed in a well attended show last year in Kumasi is set to stage a comeback this year, as part of his countrywide tour dubbed ‘Rock Da Planet’ at the Miklin Hotel on December 25.

Daddy Lumba will stage his first ever live performance in Kumasi in a show dubbed ‘The Homecoming Concert’ which will feature silky voiced contemporary highlife icon Kwabena Kwabena, at the ultra-modern Royal Lamerta Hotel, Ahodwo.
