The band’s performance was nothing short of extraordinary, blending music, history, and artistry in a way that captivated attendees at the plush The Underbridge venue in East Legon.
The Nkyinkyim Band’s performance began on a powerful note, paying homage to Africa’s rich cultural heritage. They opened with a stirring rendition of Osibisa’s iconic hit, Welcome Home, a song synonymous with African unity and pride.
As the band wove their signature indigenous sound into the classic tune, the moment became even more profound with the incorporation of excerpts from Kwame Nkrumah’s historic speech delivered on May 25, 1963, at the founding of the Organisation of African Unity in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The patrons were spellbound as the band, led by their charismatic lead singer Kundivi Mahama, invoked the words of Ghana’s first president. The powerful blend of Nkrumah’s call for African unity and Osibisa’s timeless music created an atmosphere of nostalgia and pride, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.
Nkyinkyim Band’s repertoire for the night was a celebration of Ghanaian music at its finest. Moving seamlessly from one iconic hit to another, the band paid tribute to legendary Ghanaian artistes, including Amandzeba Nat Brew.
Their rendition of Amandzeba’s Wogbejeke was a standout moment, drawing cheers and applause from the crowd, many of whom sang along passionately.
