The much-anticipated Made in Taadi Concert, hosted by celebrated Ghanaian musician Kofi Kinaata, made a triumphant return after a two-year hiatus, drawing a record-breaking crowd of over 40,000 fans at the Jubilee Grounds in Takoradi.
The event, which was sponsored by Enterprise Life, kicked off on Friday, December 20, 2024, with a youth seminar at the Western Serene Atlantic Hotel, Takoradi, themed ‘Bridging the Gap – From Dreams to Reality. The seminar brought together over 1,000 participants, including students and industry players.
Distinguished speakers included Philip Osei Bonsu of Ekosiisen fame, Wilson Arthur of Skyy Media Group, Kwame Adu Mante, CEO of Focus One Group, Pamela Arvoh-Mensah, a private legal practitioner, and Fiifi Buckman, a private legal practitioner and MP-elect for the Kwesimintsim Constituency. They shared inspiring insights and practical tools to empower the youth to pursue their aspirations.
A team from the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) also took the participants through safe and regular migration topics.
At the Takoradi Sports Club, the main concert began on Saturday with a meet-and-greet session at 3:00 PM. The event officially launched into performances at 7:00 PM, showcasing over 20 emerging artistes who warmed up the massive crowd.
The stage later saw electrifying performances from top-tier acts, including Eno Barony, Samini, Beeztrap KOTM, Donzy, Lasmid, Abochi, Nemesis Loso, and Orkortor Perry. In a delightful twist, Fameye and Kwaw Kese, though not originally billed, surprised the audience with spontaneous performances that left fans ecstatic.
The show ended at 7:21 AM on Sunday, December 22, 2024, after an impressive 12-hour musical marathon. Fans hailed Kofi Kinaata for the event’s seamless organization and its impactful blend of entertainment and youth empowerment.
