18th March : Ghanaians in Paris thrilled to authentic HipLife !
‘Ayekoo’ !!! Well done to Gold Coast Events
for making it possible for Franco-Ghanaians and their friends in and around Paris to have a real, live and direct, feeling of Ghanaian hiphop music – dubbed HipLife – in organising a musical concert that brought together local and Ghanaian artists for a memorable performance at the Espace Venise at Sarcelles, a surbub of Paris ! This is the second successful event organised by Gold Coast Events since its creation barely six month ago.
That night’s event saw over 300 young people storming the
place to
catch glimpse of hiplife duo’s like Los Grumos (France) and
Ruff–N-Smooth (Ghana). The crowd slowly
warm themselves up into the night’s maiden show with a line-up of
artists like Kosa (more reggae style), Lil Ben and Los Grumos
who
set the stage with
some of
their hits songs and couple of songs from their latest albums. The main
artists

The young and energetic crew of Gold Coast Events is really bound to diversify the Ghanaians in France socio-cultural entertainment scenes and outings with events that highlight our artists and portrays our evolving multi-cultural identity. They are open to all ideas and support in dishing-out creative and vibrant events. Actually, this concert was initiated by 2 French law students who were in Ghana last year for a 3 month practical training session. They discovered and adored Ghanaian highlife and hiplife music – thus adding to and diversifying their cultural horizon.
