Samini Launches ‘MTN-Saminifest’

Samini’s aim for this great project is to reflect on massive opportunities in the music industry and a great deal of tourism potential and revenue for our Ghana and the creative arts industry. This is what he said at the launch;

Samini described the project as an important milestone in his life- a story that chronicles a journey from Music, Giving Back to Society and Doing Business as an Entrepreneur.

He said: “Ten years ago, then a young boy, I set out to follow my passion and dream in Music. I was duly supported by a family and Mother who earned a living selling pito, a local beverage I secretly refer to as Prosperity Inspired Through Talent Ordination [smile]- The ordination here presupposes God has been good to us. It’s been a great journey from the days of Ashanti International to Samini Music/HighGradeFamily; and from Batman to Samini. From Hiplife, Highlife to helping shape the most popular genre in Ghanaian music today- Dancehall”

Samini also used the event to launch his new single titled ‘Godfull’ which is the official theme song for his 10th Anniversary in music. The first edition of the “MTN Saminifest 2014″ will be a 4-day celebration starting from 3rd December with activities as follows:

* Dec 3- Industry Workshop on Financial Planning at Dancestardom

* Dec 4- A Photo and Video Exhibition at Dancestardom

* Dec 5- African Market Day- FoodFest& Pre-party @ Dancestardom

* Dec 6- Saminfest Live (Main Concert) @ Trade Fair

Essentially, the festival will be climaxed with my biggest ever concert dubbed MTNSaminifestLive, which will be on the 6th of December 2014 at the Trade Fair Center.

This concert will feature some of the biggest stage rockers in Ghana. “For the first time in a long while, I will be performing with the Trinity- a group rolled within my early days featuring K.K. Fosu and Kokoveli. The following artistes will be performing live at various events of the Festival, and mainly on the Saturday December 6th event. They include: 4X4, Stonebwoy, Kaakie, R2bees, Episode, Kofi Kinaata, Edem, Guru, MzVee,PaapaYankson, Noble Nketiah, Jupitar, Koo Ntakara and many others” he concluded.
