The Mimlife Records signed artists, Kimilist and Kwame Yesu, delivered a sensational set, unleashing a string of fan-favorite songs that resonated with the eager crowd.
The temperature soared higher with KiDi, the ‘lover boy,’ who engaged the audience in a collective sing-along to his chart-topping hits. The atmosphere remained ablaze as he poured his heart out, delivering a spellbinding performance.
The night reached its climax with the much-anticipated appearance of Shatta Wale, the man of the moment. In a two-hour spectacle, he not only delivered electrifying performances but also took moments to connect with the audience, sharing words of wisdom and creating an unforgettable experience for everyone present.
Looking ahead, Mr. Mubarak Nkrumah, the CEO, and Eric Asmah, the General Manager of Mimlife Records, have exciting plans for this year. They announced their intention to switch up the venue and enhance the experience with additional activities with the health walk and the music concert.
Mr. Mubarak Nkrumah, the CEO of Mimlife Records teased the anticipation by hinting at two more major events lined up for 2024, adding to the excitement for what promises to be a remarkable year for Mimlife Records and the Tema community.

Africa’s celebrated music icon and highlife maestro, Kojo Antwi, has been selected as the headline performer for the 2026 Europe Day reception in Accra, marking a historic 50 years of partnership between the European Union (EU) and Ghana.
The event, scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2026, at 6:00 pm, forms part of activities commemorating the Golden Jubilee of diplomatic, trade, and cultural relations between Ghana and the EU, which dates back to 1976.
Europe Day remains one of the most significant diplomatic gatherings on Ghana’s calendar, traditionally attracting more than 600 guests, including members of the diplomatic corps, senior government officials, and key stakeholders from various sectors.
The 2026 edition will be celebrated under the theme “Golden Bridge,” symbolising half a century of friendship, cooperation, and shared values between Ghana and the European Union.
Organisers say the evening will feature a rich cultural showcase, with Kojo Antwi affectionately known as “Mr Music Man” and “The Maestro” leading the entertainment segment.
His signature blend of highlife, soul, and Euro-African rhythms is expected to bring a fitting artistic touch to the milestone celebration.
In an official invitation letter signed by Rune Skinnebach on behalf of the EU and dated Wednesday, May 6, 2026, organisers described Kojo Antwi as the ideal choice for the occasion.
The letter stated: “We therefore cannot think of any better artiste to lift this special occasion to new levels of entertainment and national pride.”
It further expressed hope that the celebration would strengthen future collaboration, noting: “We hope this event will transform into sustained collaboration and partnership in the future.”
Kojo Antwi remains one of Africa’s most respected musical figures, with a career spanning decades and 13 acclaimed albums to his credit.
Widely regarded as the “King of Love Songs,” he has consistently delivered timeless hits that continue to resonate across generations.
From his early performances in Europe with his first band to his illustrious solo career in Ghana, the Maestro’s journey has been defined by creativity, resilience, and global recognition consistently projecting Ghana’s cultural excellence on the world stage.
Beyond his music, Kojo Antwi’s influence extends across the African entertainment landscape, inspiring generations of musicians. He recently expanded his legacy with the release of his memoir, “Mr Music Man: The Journey,” a deeply personal account of his life, artistry, and enduring impact making him one of the few African musicians to chronicle his story in his own words.
As Europe Day 2026 approaches, organisers say the choice of Kojo Antwi reflects more than entertainment value, but a celebration of an enduring cultural bridge between Ghana and Europe honouring a living legend whose music continues to unite hearts across continents.
