Most events in Ghana happen in Ghana’s capital Accra. However, Bless the Mic every now and then takes their show to Tema.
On Friday, 28th May 2010, starting at 8pm, they do it again! The place is Barcadi Nite Club, Community 4, Tema.
It will be a night of freestyle battles between some of the most exciting MCs from Tema and Accra including Macho Rapper, Yaa Pono, El, Ronny O, Pope Skinny, Scizo and the All Star cast from Tema. In attendance will be international guest DJ Floro (Spain) and DJ Champagne (Y Fm). Apart from music, there will also be graffiti art.
I called up the man behind BTM, Papa Yaw to find out why he is taking his show on the road:
– Because Tema is very vibrant in the music business right now and we want to promote the Tema music community, thats the reason…
As I am a proper “Tema girl”, I must say I appreciate BTM coming to Tema.
Come around 8pm on Friday and pose for pics to be posted in this space!
