Akosua Adjepong Celebrates 25 Years In Music

Renowned singer, Akosua Adjepong, has been in the music business for 25 years and her staying power alone is more than enough reason for her to celebrate her success in music with a major bash.

Come May 30 at the Accra International Trade Fair Centre, Akosua Adjepong will be staging a concert, Akosua Adjepong @ 25 together with some of the greatest musicians in Ghana.

Sarkodie, Nana Ampadu, Gyedu Blay Ambolley, A.B. Crentsil, Rev. Joe Beechem, MzVee, Edem, Becca, Amandzeba, Rex Omar, Daughters of Glorious Jesus and Nana Ama McBrown are the artistes billed to perform alongside Akosua Adjepong who is prepared to go all out on the night.Briefing the media at the launch of Akosua Adjepong @ 25 at the African Regent Hotel in Accra on Monday, Akosua Adjepong said apart from the main concert on May 30, there will be a health walk on May 2 which starts from the Trade Fair Centre at La in Accra to the 37 Military Hospital and back to the Trade Fair where there would be free screening for breast cancer, hypertension, diabetes and other ailments. 

On May 9, Akosua would make a donation to an orphanage at Gbawe, near Accra.

Talking about the concert, she said she is currently rehearsing with the Immigration Band to give a good performance on the night. 

“I will be performing alongside great musicians on the night and to put up an outstanding performance, I have been practising with the Immigration Band to give a brilliant performance. I wouldn’t want to give much detail on the show but I entreat everyone to come to the event,” she said. 

Not satisfied with the new crop of gospel musicians, Akosua Adjepong used the occasion to urge gospel musicians to challenge themselves by coming out with their own songs and not to do renditions of old gospel songs.

She stated that, the way some of the gospel musicians dress for music videos is not the best and advised that they dress decently.

Nana Ampadu who was present at the launch commended Akosua Adjepong on her 25th anniversary adding that, he is prepared to support her whenever she calls on him any day.

“Akosua is more or less like a daughter to me. She takes advice from me and discusses whatever plans she wants to take with me. I will be performing a new song on stage with her come May 30 and it is going to be a blast,” Nana Ampadu said.

The concert is sponsored by Joy Daddy, Special Ice, Onga, National Health Insurance Scheme, Tobinco, Union Oil, Breast Care International and Allied Oil.
