The 5th edition of the YFM Ankaase Lakeside Party was not just a concert; it was an absolute takeover that will be seared into the memories of every single patron.
Revellers were plunged into a vortex of pure, unadulterated excitement and adrenaline as the hottest names in Kumasi’s music scene delivered a night of non-stop bangers and electrifying energy.
Headlining the sonic assault was the lyrical heavyweight himself, Strongman! The ‘Pilolo’ hitmaker, a true maestro of rhymes, didn’t just perform; he commanded the stage.
Dropping back-to-back anthems like ‘Mokobe’ and ‘Bossu’, Strongman had the crowd in a frenzy; every single lyric echoing back to him in a thunderous chorus. The atmosphere was electric, a testament to his undeniable star power.
But the madness did not stop there. Representing the formidable Asakaa Music Group, the one and only O’Kenneth unleashed a barrage of hits that sent the lakeside into absolute pandemonium! From the raw energy of ‘Lonely Road’ to the infectious vibes of ‘Agyeiwaa’ and the introspective depth of ‘Glory In Pain’, O’Kenneth’s versatility was on full display, leaving the audience begging for more. The ground vibrated with the sheer energy of the crowd as they surrendered to his irresistible flow.
Adding fuel to the fire were the incredible hypemen and DJs from YFM Kumasi, who took the stage and delivered performances that will go down in Ghanaian entertainment history. They masterfully controlled the energy, keeping the excitement levels sky-high and ensuring there was never a dull moment.
Speaking after the earth-shattering event, Nathaniel Osei Kufuor, General Manager of YFM-Kumasi, could not contain his excitement. “This year’s Ankaase Lakeside Party transcended just the music.
