Ghanaian superstar, Sarkodie, sets record

Unarguably the biggest persona of Ghanaian music and one of Africa’s greatest, Sarkodie, will become the first African rapper to headline his own concert at Indigo at the O2 in London on Friday, March 11th when he holds a concert there in celebration of Ghana’s 59th independence anniversary. The BET winner and MOBO award nominee, who recently joined Fuse ODG on the last leg of his UK tour, is one of the major proponents of the Azonto genre and dance made popular by Fuse ODG internationally. Sarkodie will be taking his brand to the next level as he has enlisted the support of UK’s most-sought-after live band, The Compozers, to rock the crowd and UK’s afrobeats pioneer, Abrantee, to host the event. The audience is in for a mega treat with Sarkodie’s skilful 50-syllables-per-second flow, countless hits from a career spanning 15 years and a flux of surprise guest performers including his personal DJ, Mensah, to ensure a show-stopper. This concert will surely establish Sarkodie as one of the world’s most iconic African artists.
