The Blitz-zard Hit Accra Again!

I was at the 2011 concert and couldn't wait for Blitz The Ambassador to come back to Accra. No one who was at the 25th January concert at Alliance Francaise can say they didn't enjoy the show; unless they do not love good music and creativity. I'm a bigger fan of the Embassy MVMT now chale.

I love that Blitz takes what he does seriously and is breaking boundaries to take his work global. I love that he recognizes other artists and encourages them to be great at what they do too. I love that he's open minded and concerned about his motherland. I love that he pays attention to the tiniest of details. I love that he makes good music and collabos with musicians from across the world. I love that when he's on stage, he performs with passion and leaves audience with an experience that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

#ChaleWote2013: I Was There Some

Accra [dot] Alt's Chale Wote  street art festival keeps getting better. In a few years, I see people actually camping in Jamestown waiting for day two of the festival. I learned so much from this year's festival about Jamestown. Brazil House was my biggest discovery. I know I'll learn more about Jamestown as the years go by. And oh, I met a few of the cool people I follow on twitter. :)

All You Need to Know About #ChaleWote2013

It is time for Accra [dot] Alt's Chale Wote Street Art Festival once again. This will be the third annual edition and my second. Last year was great even though I missed the performance by the men with the blue faces which from all indications and stories told was amazing. And as if to tease me, they put of the blue faces on this year's poster. LOL.
I've been following Accra [dot] Alt closely on social media and I must say I'm excited very much excited about all the activities I see being planned for this year's festival and can't wait for Saturday and Sunday. 

Whenever I happen to mention the festival to folk who I think might like to check it out, they ask me questions about the event; some of which I cannot get good answers to. This week however, Accra [dot] Alt folk have made it simple and easier for me to do this explanation.

Here's a Q&A about the festival and the schedule for this year.

You can't afford not to be part of this groundbreaking festival that I see becoming Accra's biggest event in a few years. See you in Jamestown.
