Saturday’s 2011 Fantasy Jam that was headlined by Jamaican dancehall artiste, Mavado and hosted by Ghana’s dancehall general Samani, came off finally at the Accra Sports Stadium. An initial postponement of the concert from October 1 to October 8 due to a last minute football match between Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko could not deter patrons from filling one-fourth of the 40,000 seater capacity sports stadium. The show that was billed to start 8pm finally took off around 11:00pm. After some comic performances which at a point nearly got the crowd booing the performers off stage, young dancehall songstress, Kaaki instantly brought life back into the show that was taking an early nose dive. She looked hot on stage with curves very appealing to the eyes. She was not only well endowed in voice; she was also well gifted physically as her tight cloths exposed every single inch of shape she has been endowed with. Singing her popular tune, Too Much and as if she was riding an imaginary stallion, Kaaki was already corrupting the naughty minds of patrons – she was a delight to watch. Quick performances from Nii and Yaw Siki of Wope Dodo fame after Kaaki’s performance psyched up the crowd who were now in a party mood. But it was the Man Insane, Kwaw Kese the King of the Streets who changed the complexion of the show dramatically. Dressed in camo, Kwaw Kese brought his iconic energy-filled madness onto the stage. Performing Ma Kwan and some of his latest tunes such as Popping which ushered Daddy Opanka onto the stage, fans were upstanding singing alongside Abodam who was equally trilled to be on stage. It was right after Kwaw Kese had paved the way for Tamale based musician Sheriff Ghale that the weather decided to take a toll on the show. It started drizzling and looked as if it was going to be a minor drizzle but patrons were wrong! It poured heavily forcing everyone to seek shelter. For about 30 minutes it poured, finally ceasing maybe through a 911 call to God with a passionate plea for the rain to stop for the show to continue. Right after the rain, Okomfo Kwadee got the round two of the show going. It was a joy seeing him on stage after a long while. Performing with a live band, Kwadee was back in his elements, the fluidity he was known for was all on display on stage. He got the crowd miming to his songs. R2Bees followed next. R2Bees’ performance was marred by an unexpected technical hitch that saw them perform without any instrumental. They had no choice but to only rhyme and rap their songs on stage. Tried as the technicians did, they could not resolve the issue. R2Bees left without giving off what they were known for especially their very expectant tune Agyei. 4x4 followed and the technical hitch that bedeviled R2Bees had been resolved. 4x4 were once again proving their Waist and Power on stage capping their performance with their smash hit Yesi Yesi.
