Kwabena Kwabena Unplugged at Miss Legon 2008
Smooth highlife crooner, Kwabena Kwabena joined a list of young and talented musicians at the Miss Legon 2008 beauty pageant.

The pageant also included pulsating performances by some young and energetic Ghanaian musicians like Praye, Kwabena Kwabena, 4×4, and Tinny.

Big Boys don’t Cry
It seems the fortunes of Zulu Corp have changed for the worse as they lost another task although they seemed more confident on the day.

Gospel Artist Tops Ghana Music Award Nominations
Ghana is quite a religious country and it is not surprising that gospel music is the fastest selling music genre in the country. With each year, there are more gospel releases than any other genre but when it comes to the Ghana Music Awards, a people’s choice award, hip life and highlife artistes often take home the big prize.

Blessing Proves Her Point
Blessing is a lady who isn’t exactly known for a stiff upper lip; she was the first to blame Matrix Corp’s first two defeats on bad and ineffective leadership. Blessing’s persistent indictment led the CEO into throwing her the challenge of leading her team to victory in the next challenge. True to her words, she was able to register the first win for Matrix Corp when the group was tasked to make the most turnover in a profit related challenge for a fast food joint in Nigeria.

According to reports, Big Brother Africa 2 winner, Richard, and his former housemate, Meryl, are shooting a movie for Nollywood. Well this wouldn’t be the first time an ex-housemate tried to cross over into acting.
