To have an album that you could hardly skip a single track not even the intro and the autro, deserve all the euphoria and the noise about the 2oth anniversary and all the anticipation of the old and the young alike.
Even-dough, there were many other artist that, many of us were looking forward to see on stage paying their tribute to the living legend, but the few artists we saw on stage, all qualify and had what it takes to make that night a one to remember forever.
But as always the case of every event with such expectation, just the desire of every artist to murder his or her performances alone can make an artist kill the night or be killed by the night and we saw quite a number of such instances from artist like King Promise of all people who was singing of key and of beat.
So one of my poorest performance of the night will go to King Promise unfortunately, in my quest to find out what could have cause this low level performance from the Selfish hit-maker, I realized the DJ on set did not have stage performance qualities but, that of a spinner instead and I seriously don't know who to blame for that.
Because I could see the DJ speeding King Promise's song like Sarkodie on Lay Away FT Sway especially, when he was playing King Promise's Selfish, and in as much as the DJ was spinning instead of palying for an artist on stage, it was King promise's duty to tap into the tempo and deliver but for a reason best know to him alone, he fell for the DJ's poor job.
Now lets move to my best performance of the night and this artist is an artist many 2000 borns knows little to nothing about. This artist is one half of the then Sass Squad who later became TH4 Kwages from Sekondi Takorade.
Obrafour on his second album, Asem se be, featured TH4 Kwages on the album title, ASEM SE BE well, this is where I do my personal confessions, we thought Pae Mu ka was going to be the alpha and omega from Obrafour but, the songs and the production quality on the second album, ASEM SE BE was murderous.
And this was the time I will go out from the class room for break and will never go back to class because, unlike today where it is easy to skip to the next track on an album, those days the Cassette tape would have to majestically play the songs on the album one by one.
And Kwabena Abranti3 will want to listen to all the songs on the album in order to know all the new jabs Obrafour has released onto his then arch rival, Lord Kenya the then rap Heavy Weight of Ghana.
so it was on this Blacknificent ASEM SE BE album that Obrafour featured TH4 Kwages who, after 18 good years have come to pay homage to the living legend Obrafour.
Not too long a go, one half of the sensational Tadi music group died now leaving TH4 Kwages with just a member who did not disappoint his departed comrade, Takorade, Ghana, Ghana music and everyone who went to the concert with the aim of experiencing a classic performance because the Pae Mu Ka album and the era belongs to the hiplife classics.
TH4 Kwages gave a performance which qualify or befit every good characteristics of a good concert thus, from the stage craft, his engagement of the crowd, the timelessness of their songs and how his performance shockingly resonated with majority of the patrons of the PAE MU KA @ 20 concert.
In-fact, TH4 Kwage's performance of the night was that of an international standard, his performance additionally gave a sort of a bragging right to the old school people who were in the auditorium to show off to the new schools that this is when hiplife was a religion.
And I could see people like Johnnie Hughes of TV Abeku Sanatana of Okay FM, Kalibos and many others and therefore if you ask me of one of the artist who gave people value form money, I think TH4 Kwages was number on the list of pest quality performance I am not surprised because, the best will always come from the West.
My next write up will be on the role the bands played to reduce people's expectation of the concert, which band could have been the best option for a concert this magnitude my best entrance of the the artist who performed on the night.
