The second Day, 9th March is when the main concert took off. The event happened at the Granada Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Labeled “Highlife Meets Hiplife”, the event had “Bisa Kdei” for the Highlife stance, and “Kwaw Kese” on the Hiplife ticket. Other artistes on bill were, H.Hardy, Raouf Denio, Fenom Vibez, Twin Cities Dance Crew, et al. The fire that rained on stage this day will forever leave indelible trail of emotions on guests, as the name Ghana was lifted up high in Minnesota.
The closing show, “Ye Wo Krom” which happened on Sunday, 10th March, was a straight jam party vibe that saw DJs; DJ Eazy E, DJ Oceeking, DJ Famous and DJ Lyriks treating attenders with the very best of authentic and unadulterated Ghanaian music.
The events became well liked to the extent that the state of Minnesota joined up in the celebrations, and its Governor, Tim Walz proclaimed the weekend as “Ghana’s Heritage Weekend”.
All videos and pictures sprouting from the events really attest that they were indeed the best or part of the best Ghanaian Diasporan events to have happened this year.

There’s Nothing Like Worldly People, Most Of These People Possess Good Characters – Herty Bongreat
Gospel artist Herty Bongreat recently shared her thoughts on why she chose to collaborate with secular artists Sarkodie and Trigmatic. Her response highlighted the importance of looking beyond surface-level appearances. “People we perceive as ‘worldly’ often possess remarkable humanistic qualities, even surpassing those who claim to know Christ.”
Herty emphasized the need to engage with others before making judgments. “Comparing their lifestyle to that of some people within the church reveals a stark difference.”
In addition to her thoughts on collaboration, Herty also shared valuable advice on parenting in the digital age. “As parents, we must be proactive and involved in our children’s lives, especially online. Assuming we know what they’re doing can lead to unawareness of potential issues.”
Herty’s words serve as a reminder to approach others with an open mind and to prioritize involvement in our children’s lives.
