We need long-term partners – Perez Musik seeks charitable partnerships for his Glorified Concert
Ghanaian highly gifted gospel singer, Perez Musik has said that even though his worship concert is free, the platform wishes to establish a long-term partnership for a charitable cause.
In an interview with Giovanni Caleb on Showbiz 360 which airs on TV3 every Friday, the minister of God revealed some of the personalities that will be present at this year’s edition of the Glorified concert which is absolutely free.
“Sunday, August 27, 2023, at the Victory Bible Church, Awoshie, we have Cindy Thompson, Pastor Joe Beecham, Siisi Baidoo… It’s free; you don’t have to pay anything. Come with your family and be blessed,” he shared.
According to the Gospel singer, this year’s edition is themed ‘Grace and Mercy’ and the team is hoping that the concert will experience the “marvellous move of the Holy Spirit”.
“This year, we are expecting to have a marvellous move of the Holy Spirit. We want to host the Holy Spirit in the auditorium. This year’s edition is ‘Grace and Mercy’. Last year was ‘Splendour and Majesty’,” he stated.
Taking advantage of the spotlight, Perez Musik who is an Mfantsipim alumnus points out that he has embarked on a charitable venture to help street boys and is hoping that Glorified Concert, this year’s edition will enable him to raise long-term partnerships for the cause.
“If you attended Botswe, you’d understand. One of the things we’re trying to do is that from last year, we’ve been trying to help your boys on the streets. It hasn’t been an easy endeavor but we’re doing it little by little. So even though it’s a free show, open your heart up because we’re trying to get partners; long-term partnership,” he mentioned.

The Christmas festivities were nothing short of fun and excitement, especially for patrons of Dodi World in Akosombo in the Eastern Region.
A major highlight was a memorable voyage aboard the famous MV Dodi Princess II, a 150-capacity pleasure boat, which sailed to the scenic Dodi Island, an 84-hectare natural haven.
Among the patrons was a vibrant social group known as ‘Weekend Day Out’, which brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and workplaces to interact, share ideas and enjoy memorable leisure experiences.
On December 26, the group joined hundreds of other fun lovers to fill the vessel to capacity for what many described as an experience of a lifetime.
The over five-hour journey from Dodi World through to Dodi Island was electrifying. Patrons enjoyed breath-taking rare views of the island’s rich natural scenery and wildlife before returning onboard for the cruise back to the starting point.
The atmosphere was further enlivened by music from DJs and a live band, complemented by an array of drinks and grilled meals, ensuring both young and old had something to cheer about throughout the voyage.
For members of the Weekend Day Out group, the trip served as a joyful reunion with friends after a year of professional commitments, while also providing an opportunity to plan future adventures in the coming year.
Speaking after the event, one of the patrons, Ms Gloria Yaa Baby, said although she had embarked on the voyage several times, the most recent experience was particularly breathtaking and memorable.
“This one was different, with more people and interactive sessions. It gave me many reasons to return and experience the fun again with the Weekend Day Out group,” she stated.
With another exciting adventure scheduled for March this year, she encouraged Ghanaians to make time out of their busy schedules to relax, unwind and enjoy life.

Joshua Kojo Ampah, a member of the Keche group has stated that the attitude of Nigerian audience during the performance of Ghanaian artiste Stonebwoy and Wendy Shay at the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) held in Lagos, Nigeria was intentional.
The hiplife artiste shared his sentiments on social media over the cold reception given to the Ghanaian performers.
“They know Stonebwoy’s songs, they know Wendy Shay’s songs, but they will not get up to hail you. They know what they were doing,” he stated.
He added that performances by Stonebwoy and Wendy Shay were top notch but most audience did not want to relate to the song.
“Is there was any rapper in Africa bigger than Sarkodie? Are there any dancehall artistes in Africa bigger than Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy” he quizzed.
He contrasted this with the energetic reception given to Nigerian legend P Square, who performed at the same event.
Joshua blamed this on the Ghanaian attitude towards its own artistes within the Ghanaian music industry itself.
He argued that the lack of respect for local talents in Ghana was responsible for their reception abroad.
“But do you know why we are not respected out there? We do not see ourselves as such. “Until we in Ghana start respecting our own, the people out there will not respect them,” he concluded.
