Yes! Okomfour staged a come back With MEA ME NIE. The vastly publicized and much anticipated show in recent times dubbed ‘Okomfour Mea Me Nie Concert’. It was the biggest comeback in the decade as Okomfour welcome himself back to the hip life game with over 4 years of being in the wasteland.
At the National Theatre last Saturday the 3rd of October, 36 artistes were supposed to have performed, some before and after Okomfour’s performance but only a hands full managed to grace the big stage and the reason best known to the organizers.
MTN ambassador Samini, another brilliant chap from the Northern part of Ghana who didn’t make an impact at the Busta Rhymes’ show was in his usual electrifying mood, he performed with live band, he got the whole audience on their feet dancing and jumping to his ‘Samini’ and ‘Where my baby dey’ tracks.
Sammy B, Ghana’s first rep to the Big Brother Africa reality show, who earlier on dished out some funny jokes, Jayne Buckman Owoo of Graphic Showbiz and Muntari Muntala of TV3’s Spot Light were seen doing the ‘asabone’, they just couldn’t help but to do the left and right dance amidst clapping. In a nutshell Samini prepared and pulled the audience for Okomfour to seal through.
Based on the performance of Samini, http://www.ghanacelebrities.com wondered if he has not stolen the show but views sampled indicated that we have to wait and see what Okomfour has up in his sleeves.
And finally, Okomfour did hit the stage and the whole place went gay, am sure the loud noise that came out of the audience would have woken up some dead bodies at the Awudome Cemetery. The audience, the paparazzi all rushed to the walkway, making it extremely difficult for the security men to control them, they tried to shove them back to their seats but no one was ready to listen.
Those who thought Okomfour was down and out were proved wrong, he showed enough energy to the delight of the audience and shouted “Wo Ho Ye Fe Tsen Me Na So Mea Na Mi Gyina Stage” literally means you are ‘beautiful’ than I am but am the one on the stage, the audience couldn’t help but laugh and cheer him on habitually as he dished out more thought provoking and funny lyrics.
For the one or so hours that Okomfour was on stage, he clicked with his audience nicely, both old and young, nobody was left out as he involved them in his performance, they sand along with him from ‘Meyere ne mepena’ to 'Abrantee', to 'Kwaadee', to 'Ka Wo Nan Toso', to 'Okomfo Si Koo', to 'P1' and to ‘Mea Me Nie’, which proved that indeed Ghanaians are still in love with the greatest story teller of our time.
Guys who came there purposely to feed their gullible eyes on the ladies had a field’s day admiring the beautiful creation by God, as the ladies were busy dancing and showing their cleavage. The night will pass for a fashion show.
Silky voice KK Fosu and ‘President’ Obour joined Okomfour midway through his performances. Other noticeable artistes who made an appearance were Okyeame Kwame, Bradez, Asase Aban, Ayigbe Edem, Mad Fish, Joe, H-Mode, Konfi, Scizo, Joe Frasier, and from Nigeria, Flavour of Ashawo fame.
The night wasn’t for only the known faces of the hip life game but there were some amateur and underground artistes who for me were just comedians, most of them can’t rap, some appeared like old drunkards, they just appeared to be rapping just because they are colleagues are doing.
Pop Skinny could have done a lot better with his performance. Bringing a dead laptop on stage was a good thing but it just didn’t help his course, the laptop should at least been switched on and not necessarily on the internet. A line in his ‘Mugu’ track which says ‘we are going to browse, on yahoooooo.com’, apparently, the laptop would have serve as a good purpose but as it was dead, the audience were confused but cheered him on.
The likes of Tinny, OJ Blaq, ASEM, Richie, and the other guys from Lynx entertainment were in the house but couldn’t grace the stage. The show weren’t fully packed to capacity but it was well patronized and action packed.
