The opening ceremony of the 13th African Games wasn’t left to sports inclined people, as the entertainment industry came alive with electrifying and energetic performances from great Ghanaian artistes like Shatta Wale, King Promise, and the legendary Pat Thomas.
It was all moments of ecstasy when the self-acclaimed African Dancehall King, Shatta Wale, mounted the stage to perform at the opening ceremony of the 13th edition of the African Games held in Accra.
Spectators couldn’t help but sing along to hits from the ‘My Level’ hit maker. Dressed in an adorable Kente cloth with a crown on his head, signifying the king he says he is, Shatta performed alongside the crowd, cheering on his songs.
Not long did the legendary Pat Thomas reignite the jamming spirit of the crowd with his live performances and dances by the National Dance Ensemble. His electrifying performance could not be resisted as spectators danced and sang along to their favourite highlife legend.
Climaxing the whole opening ceremony was the ‘transformer’ hit maker, King Promise. With his thrilling performances, fans went wild, especially as the popular Transformer song was played. Even patrons of the VIP and VVIP sections couldn’t help but sing and dance along.
The drumming sessions from the Band Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces were also not left out, as they played and drummed popular afrobeat sounds to which the crowd sang out the lyrics.

Meanwhile, Ghanaian AfroSoul/R&B sensation, Darkua, has joined forces with Boomplay Ghana to curate a special playlist in honour of International Women’s Day.
Titled “HER’MONY,” this exclusive playlist aims to shine a spotlight on the extraordinary talent of women artists from across Africa and the Diaspora, whose remarkable contributions often go unrecognised amidst the dominance of their male counterparts.
“HER’MONY” is not just a playlist; it’s a celebration of diversity, empowerment, and inclusivity in the music industry. Darkua’s vision for this project is to amplify the voices of women artists who have been overlooked and underrepresented, offering listeners a captivating journey through their soulful melodies, powerful lyrics, and unmatched creativity.
The playlist serves as a platform to inspire inclusion and appreciation for the unique perspectives and contributions of women in music. The playlist features, Ess Thee Legend, Titi Owusu, Jorja Smith, Qing Madi, Xenia Manasseh, Kiki Celine, Tems, Stella Sena, Mel, Coco Jones, Cina Soul, Baaba J, Asi Renie, Highlyy, Ginius, Lali X Lola, Mahalia, Kkeda, Libianca, Khalifina, Kami Leonne, Moliy, Anabel Rose, Ayra Starr, and Tyla.
Speaking about the importance of creating this playlist, Darkua said; “ I have been wanting to put out this playlist for some time and today being International Women’s Day, I felt it as the best opportunity to get the world to listen to the incredible music women create. This year’s theme #InspireInclusion “encourages everyone to recognise the unique perspectives and contributions of women in the creation of music and the music business in general.
As the world commemorates International Women’s Day, “HER’MONY” stands as a testament to the unwavering spirit and boundless talent of women in music.
Darkua and Boomplay Ghana urge audiences to join in this celebration of diversity and inclusion, pledging to uplift and amplify the voices of women artists today and every day.
Let “HER’MONY” be a reminder that the future of music is female, and their melodies will resonate eternally in our hearts and souls.
