While the nominees of the 2016 Vodafone Ghana Music
Awards are battling it out to take the spoils tomorrow night in Accra, reigning
Songwriter and Best Female Vocal of the Year, super-talented Wiyaala, is set to
make her debut in the United Kingdom at Brazil Meets Africa in Dewsbury
tomorrow night.
Brazil Meets Africa is the brainchild of Claudio Kron, a
celebrated Brazilian percussionist and veteran of festivals worldwide known for
his charismatic stage performances.
Sources report the two musicians are making
magic in rehearsals with a powerful fusion combining Claudio’s Brazilian beats
and rhythms with Wiyaala’s West African musical folk traditions.
John
Sherren, Wiyaala’s manager said “We are not in the UK to take prisoners. I will
get Wiyaala to perform at every opportunity available. I believe she will
become one of the biggest artistes ever to emerge from Africa. Ghanaians should
be proud of their girl.”
It all goes down on Saturday 7th May at The West Riding, Platform 3 in
Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. Entrance is free and the show begins at 8pm.
Wiyaala
is currently on tour in Europe with performances scheduled in Germany, Denmark
and the Womad International Arts Festival in the United Kingdom.
