\"\"<\/a>Music lovers thronged the Alliance Francaise recently for a very well curated and unique musical experience. Highlife legend Ebo Taylor kicked off the night with a tight forty minute set backed by his Bonze Konkoma band. Belting tunes from his \u2018Love and Death\u2019 album like \u2018mizin,\u2019 the album title track, \u2018love and death\u2019 and many others he treated the diverse crowd to pulsating Afrobeat\/Highlife rhythms. <\/span><\/p>\n

Glamorous songstress Efya took to the stage in a body-hugging Duaba Serwa, made from woodin , moments after Taylor. The fixations on her sexy outfit quickly faded when her voice touched the microphone. From her new song, \u2018Get Away\u2019 to a cover of the old highlife tune by Wuolomei, \u2018Meridian,\u2019 the diva showed her range and was worth the wait.<\/p>\n

All jazzed up but still expectant, the intimate crowd waited patiently for much buzzed about rapper M.anifest to hit the stage. Akablay & the Abiza Band were standing by to provide backup.\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Ghana-Must-Go\u2019 was his first number and having been lathered up the excited audience became a standing only one after two songs.\u00a0 They danced to the intoxicating souds and happily indulged in the rapper\u2019s compelling grooves and lyricism. Mostly outdooring songs off his new album, \u2018Immigrant Chronicles,\u2019 \u2013including crowd favorite \u2018suffer\u2019 \u2013 the man affectionately called M doh doh doh ti doh, reached back to his debut to perform favorites such as \u2018gentleman\u2019 and \u2018babylon breakdown.\u2019 He even added unreleased surprises such as \u2018ron your bodi\u2019 which featured E.L and C-Real. The \u201cmore vim\u201d chants heard throughout the night from the audience was a testament to their enchantment with M.anifest\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the night though was when the grand papa himself, Reggie Rockstone, totally unexpectedly graced the crowd with his showmanship. The dreadlocked hiplife pioneer joined M.anifest and Efya on stage in a freestyle session at the end of the duo\u2019s collaboration which is appropriately called \u2018Asa.\u2019 Also spotted in attendance were Gyedu Blay Ambuley, Lydia Forson, and other favorites in the Ghanaian entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

Given the rousing response, it was only right that M dot came out to do an encore. \u00a0And that he did.\u00a0 The show was sponsored by GT Bank, Mim Cashew Brandy and Woodin and \u2018The One Show\u2019s\u2019 PY Addo Annan ably hosted the night.<\/p>\n

Fans can catch M.anifest next at his CD signing event at Silverbird Bookstore located in the Accra Mall on Saturday (afternoon) December 31.<\/p>\n
