Kentos Band takes live music to next level
Kentos Band, a fast-rising Ghanaian band has pledged to take live band music to a new level in the country following their official launch in Accra last Thursday.
The 12-member band with two female sensational singers who had over the years performed at the Sky Bar at Villagio in Accra, is noted for performing all genres of music, both local and foreign to give patrons memorable moments.
Speaking at the launch, Co-founder and Music Director of the band, Ekow Joe known in private life as Joseph Appiah explained that, they had been in existence for over a decade and needed to unveil the band to serve the entire country and beyond with good music.
“We are redefining live band music with some energetic vibe and providing persons of all ages the entertainment they deserve.Our uniqueness comes from the fact that we do not use any electrical instrument, we only play with the brass and the drums and our style is more African though we do all genres of music,” he stated.
He said, they had plans of hosting an event this year on a bigger platform to give people the opportunity to experience Kentos Band.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
