Saturday night's Vodafone 020 Live concert at the Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre started with it a promise - a promise from the headline act - Ludacris that he was going to make history.
While he will not be the first international act to headline a show in Ghana, this was Christopher Brian Bridges' first ever performance in Ghana and Ghanaians were expectant.
Before Ludacris made the historic appearance, there were very clear signs that Vodafone, organizers of the concert, had learned and improved on the past shows.
Being the third time, they were bent on hitting the nail right on the head and yes they did. Fans were greeted with a masterpiece of stage well lit for a show of such magnitude. Apart from the giant LED screens which made their presence felt at every inch of the stage, the sound was on point!
To avoid an always boring VIPs/VVIPs from ruining the beauty of the show, Vodafone did the right thing by taking them to the back of an enthusiastic patrons who were ready to party. The seating arrangement at the Dome was just fantastic!
Making a repeat appearance on the show this year was Eddie Blay Jr. He hosted last year's show with American model Amber Rose, which was headlined by R&B superstar Trey Songz. TV personality Caroline took the spot of co-host for this year's show while Ghana's number one DJ, DJ Black manned the turntables as the DJ for night.
After Eddie Blay Jr had proven his worth as not just a host but an equally talented rapper fit for the bill for the night, 2012 Vodafone Icons: Mixed Edition winners, Black N Peach took the stage to set the ball rolling.
The trio, one male and two females, with impressive choreography performed Osibisa's Osa Osa O, Wutah's Kotosa and capped it off with Tina Turner's Simply The Best, a song that handed them the Vodafone Icons title.
Nigerian super star, Naeto C, born Naetochukwu Chikwe, was next on stage. The Nigerian, dressed in a simple t-shirt and pants, did not come cheap with his performance.
His presence on stage charged the Dome with some fans screaming "now the show has started." Naeto C dished out popular tunes including, I Gentle O, Lagos Party, Sample, Kini Big Deal, 5&6, and before he capped his performance for the night, he ushered in a 10-year-old rapper, Swag Gee who did not hesitate to give a go at the mic.
The young rapper, who turns 11 in November this year, got the almost packed Dome cheering. A lady who seemed to have fallen for the rapper screamed, "Awww...he is so cute."
Naeto C capped his impressive performance with his smash hit 10 Over 10, a song that got everyone in the Dome on their feet, singing and dancing along.
