Adamfopa Talent Quest Show launched

The much-anticipated Adamfopa Talent Quest Show, which is aimed at uncovering the hidden creative talents of young Ghanaians and Africans living in the diaspora, was successfully launched last week in Paris, France.

Abrewa Nana, also known as Dorcas Opoku-Dakwa, gave a live performance during the launch.

At the launch held at the Voco Paris Intercontinental Hotel in Paris last week, Nana Obokese Ampah, Apagyahen of Asebu Traditional Area, was unveiled as the Cultural Ambassador of the Adamfopa Talent Quest Show.

Several dignitaries in attendance at the ceremony urged the organisers to take the show on a global scale.

The talent search was created by Adamfopa Media Paris’s operators, Groupe Adamfopa Services, based in Paris, with the goal of identifying, supporting, and advancing talented African and Ghanaian artistes residing in Europe.

Yaw Asamoah Bannor, General Manager of Adamfopa Media, stressed during the launch that the goal of the reality show is to reconnect African-American youth living in Europe with their culture, customs, and way of life.

This includes helping them to develop and promote their African heritage, particularly those who were born and raised in the diaspora.

He claims that the competitors will display their skills in acting, dancing, poetry, music, and other artistic or entertainment categories during the event.

The primary goal of the competition, according to Yaw Asamoah Bannor, better known by his stage name Wofadinho, is to provide gifted young African and Ghanaian youngsters in Europe a greater platform.

Although happy with the attendance, the general manager of Adamfopa expressed sadness that some brand ambassadors and guests, such as Jupitar, Samini, Pinky Pecks, and the dancing duet Allo Danny and Serwaa, were unable to attend because of complications with their visa appointments.

According to Wofadinho, the winner of the competition will get the chance to collaborate on a song with some well-known Ghanaian artistes and perform alongside a foreign act at the event’s conclusion.

He continued by saying that interested parties can register and choose their categories on the Adamfopa Media website.

The Adamfopa Talent Quest Show is organised by Groupe Adamfopa Paris in partnership with RAM Media Concepts and is sponsored by Tap Tap Send and Accord Sante.

Sista Afia keen on winning Highlife Artiste of the Year crown

Ghanaian music diva, Sista Afia is keen on winning the Highlife Artiste of the Year crown.

Sista Afia, the only female nominated in a category with men, had 27 successful shows,both locally and internationally, within the year under review.

This notwithstanding, she believes that the number of music releases coupled with numerous performances across the country and abroad puts her in pole position to win the ultimate.

She is of the belief that as the only female in the category testifies the level of work she put in to be amongst the men.

Sista Afia has therefore urged the board, the academy and the general public to vote for her massively to win the crown.

For the past 10 years, she has poured her heart and soul into preserving and innovating Ghana’s beloved highlife sound, weaving modern rhythms with soulful melodies that keep the genre alive in the hearts of the youth.

While trends have come and gone, Sista Afia stayed true to her roots, giving us timeless music that tells real stories, our stories.

What makes her presence powerful isn’t just her voice or her music; it’s her message. In every note she sings, there’s a quiet defiance. A reminder that women, too, can carry the legacy of highlife.

The 26th TGMA is slated to take place on May 10 at the Grand Arena.

The event will see varied performances and artistes who have distinguished themselves in the year under review rewarded.
