DKY Night of Comedy & Music set to thrill thousands
Renowned Sports Presenter, Dan Kweku Yeboah (DKY) has given reasons for his upcoming comedy and music show.
Ghanaians will on August 23, 2024 experience the other side of the astute sports journalist as he presents DKY Night of Comedy and Music.
The venue, Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) will be the centre of attraction as DKY assembles the top brass of Ghana’s comedy and music industry for an unforgettable experience.
Patrons on the night will have to brace up for a laughing journey with OB Amponsah, Clemento Suarez, Foster Romanus and the return of embattled Funny Face.
There would also be some quality moments with undiluted Ghanaian music from legendary Amakye Dede, evergreen Okyeame Kwame, dynamic Fameye and the nation’s worshiper, Brother Sammy.
Host of Peace FM’s Kokrokoo Morning Show, Kwame Sefa Kayi, will be the special guest, with ace comedian and actor, Akrobeto as the Master of Ceremony.
Speaking to The Spectator on the reason behind this event which is at variance with what he’s known for, Dan Kweku Yeboah said, it all started with his humorous conversations with Kwame Sefa Kaye on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo show.
According to him, he started this just to spice up their morning before his presentation of sports news on Kokrokoo, however as time went on, listeners expressed unimaginable interest in the ‘segment’.
Again, he said on a trip to the United States of America, he was surprised at how most Ghanaians he encountered recognised him for making them laugh anytime he was on air, rather than recognising him for his sports orientation.
Against this backdrop, he was advised to stage a big event where he would have enough time to thrill the audience, and after second thought, he implemented those suggestions.
He told the paper that since the announcement, he had been overwhelmed by the level of support received from many stakeholders and Ghanaians in general.
Dan Kweku Yeboah urged everyone to grab a ticket ahead of time in order not to miss out.
The show is powered by Dan Kweku Yeboah Media Foundation and Image Bureau.

Abiana drops heartfelt anthem to celebrate mothers
Sensational female vocalist, Eldah Naa Abiana Dickson, known by her stage name Abiana, has dropped a new banger to celebrate the irreplaceable role of mothers in society.
The powerful new single, which features Souly Bird from Germany, comes as a timely tribute ahead of Mother’s Day observances worldwide.
The song has a francophone flavor, but very soothing as she blends it with her beautiful afro-soul voice.
The song, born from personal reflection, carries profound meaning for the artist. “Since losing my mother, Esther Kofitse Mawusi, I have gained a deeper appreciation for all mothers,” Abiana shares. “We often take their love for granted, saying ‘thank you’ sometimes, but never enough. This song is my eternal gratitude set to melody.”
More than just another Mother’s Day tribute, the single represents Abiana’s conscious decision to add her voice to the global chorus honouring maternal figures.
“There are many songs celebrating mothers, but I realised – where is my voice? This won’t be my last ode to mothers, because praising them is a never-ending privilege,” the vocalist explains.
She further added, “To most of us, Mother’s Day would be the only time we would appreciate them as the years go by. Her departure became a realisation of the lessons each day of her life taught me, and every single moment lived with her was a privilege.”
Abiana continues to establish herself as one of Ghana’s most compelling vocal talents, blending authentic storytelling with rich musicality. Her growing discography reflects both artistic excellence and deep social consciousness.
“I couldn’t say thank you enough, but a thank you sung in melodies and a song will live forever,” she reiterated.
Abiana remains committed to delivering exceptional music that resonates with listeners and showcases the rich cultural heritage of Ghana.
The award-winning female vocalist recently dropped an Extended Play (EP) titled “Taste of Africa,” which is making waves globally and captivating souls.
With unparalleled artistry and a compelling musical vision, she continues to showcase vibrant and ever-evolving music to a global audience through various digital streaming platforms
