I cannot find any suitable word to describe Samini’s recent performance at the Accra Sports Stadium. A word like “wow” will even be underestimation of the lyrical dexterity and the stage craft Samini exhibited. Whoever gave the accolade ‘Best Performer Award’ to him, is vindicated, as the Dance Hall specialist has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is indeed the best performer.
Andrew Samini can be said to be the ‘last man standing’. He is the only Ghanaian to have won an award from the 2009 MTV Africa Music Awards also known as Mamas, after losing out last year in the same category.
Samini embarked on a nationwide tour where he made staggering stops at Kumasi, Takoradi, Tamale with his ‘Samini Experience Tour 2009’ to get more closer to his fans. He ended the tour with an explosive musical concert alongside 15 other artistes at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.
Men lie, women lie but numbers don’t lie, so we can’t doubt the crowd. People were of the opinion that the numbers were not that bad and could have been better as video footage from the Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale shows confirmed that the Accra show was nothing to compare to the previously named places.
The numbers did not really deterred Samini from giving out one his best. I was at the show not primarily to watch Samini perform. I already know what he can do, I know his capabilities. I had two things on my mind, I was curious to see if he will prove Zain wrong that it doesn’t worth it to organize a show at the same venue (over 40,000 seater stadium) and charge a whooping GH¢ 100, GH¢ 80 and GH¢ 50.
And to see the lady dancers which Samini had spoken so much about. There isn’t any right word to say than they were off the chain; those ladies danced as if they were boneless. They did justice to every song from all the music genres and occasionally twisted their backsides to the delight of the male audience.
The attendance was not very satisfactory; I think it’s a lesson to event organizers to discard the idea of organizing a show like this magnitude at the stadium and charge exorbitant prices.
Nevertheless Samini stands tall among his colleagues and really connects well with his audiences. All the supporting artistes including VIP, Konfi, OJ Blaq, Obrafour, Kwaw Kese and others connected well with their fans.
