Last Saturday, November 26, the Kokroko park at Mallam-Gbawe was active with gobsmacking performances from many Ghanaian artistes who brought their good vibes as it hosted the second edition of Mr Drew’s annual Seleey concert.
The Seleey concert seeks to bring premium entertainment to the doorstep of the people of Mallam-Gbawe.
The ‘S3k3’, ‘Mood’ and ‘This year’ hitmaker decided on Mallam-Gbawe as the place to host the concert because he spent his childhood and adolescent development years there.
With an estimated 5000 patrons in attendance, artistes took turns to thrill the audience with electrifying performances in the form of music and dance.
Upcoming artistes were given the chance to open the show by taking turns to perform their songs.
Priority was given to the talents from the Mallam-Gbawe neighbourhood in a mini talent show dubbed “Mallam’s Got Talent.”
After that, Mr Drew mounted the stage to perform his hit songs laced with enthralling dance moves with his dancers.
Other artistes including KiDi, Kuami Eugene, Sista Afia, Kelvynboy, Fameye, Laruso, King Maaga, Legendary FBS, Keche, Scott Evans and many others joined him on stage to make the night more memorable for patrons.
There were surprise appearances by Sarkodie, Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale who joined Medikal and Mr Drew on stage.
These top acts joined Mr Drew to perform songs they collaborated on and some of their own hit songs.
The event was produced by Deeplive Africa (Management of Mr Drew) and powered by Twitch house marketing and was telecast live on HD Plus Channel.
As a brand influencer for Malta Guinness Ghana, Mr Drew partnered with them as part of their national plastic cleanup and awareness campaign to rid Mallam-Gbawe of plastic waste.
Speaking to the press after the clean-up exercise, Mr Drew said he had been working with Malta Guinness for a while and he wanted to do something different with the Seleey Concert this year hence the partnership.
He further reiterated the plastics that were collected will be recycled as a way of keeping the environment clean.
Residents who participated in the clean-up exercise were put in groups to embark on the plastic collection in the neighbourhood.
The group that returned with the most plastics which was adjudged by weighing were declared the winner and were rewarded accordingly.
Volunteers were treated to refreshments with Malta Guinness while they engaged, danced and took pictures with Mr Drew. They were hosted at the palace of the Chief of Gbawe.
