The city of Kumasi is usually not known to host big music concerts in the country but the story will definitely be a different one when all roads lead to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Saturday, November 28, for this year’s tiGO Unplugged concert.

And to make it a memorable event, the organisers have lined up some of the finest artistes of Ghana and beyond. The stadium will certainly be the hub of great music performances.

Among the artistes to shake the place are Nigerian dancehall and reggae artiste, Patoranking. He made waves with his Girlie O song which undoubtedly won him many admirers.

His new song, My Woman, My Everything, has been another banger on the Ghanaian music scene and he is expected to thrill his fans in Kumasi and its environs when he mounts the stage at the Baba Yara Sports stadium.

That is not all, the award winning Nigerian artiste will be joined by a league of Ghanaian artistes including the reigning best artiste in Ghana, Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, VVIP, Kwaw Kesse, EL, Keche and MzVee to entertain patrons to rounds of good performances.

Dubbed, The You For Know edition, the concert will not only give tiGO  customers and Ghanaians in general the opportunity to see and jam to songs from music stars but also, a golden opportunity for patrons to win juicy packages from one of the sponsors, Africa World Airlines (AWA).

Speaking at the media launch in Accra on Thursday, the Director of Marketing for tiGO, Jesse Agyepong, enumerated the many profits the company gained from being a partner of Deezer, the international music streaming service.

“It is our commitment to commercialise music that has given real value and money to the local artistes and the Ghanaian music industry.  tiGO Music won the Most Innovative Product of the Year at the 2015 Ghana Telecom Awards, and that shows how relevant, timely and insight-driven the tiGO Music brand is. We are proud of what we’ve been able to achieve and the tremendous response we received for it,” she stated.

He expressed tiGO’s commitment to help build the music industry because, “ we believe that music delivers a great brand experience. We urge our customers to join us at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium for fun-filled concert, ’’he concluded.
