Published on April 3, 2015

Music maestro Kojo Antwi is positive he will be able to bring Kwahu down in ‘ruins’ this Easter as the EIB Network and its partners take over the Nyarkoa Ba Nyarko Royal hotel.

“We’ve been rehearsing for the past week and I can tell you Kwahu will be on fire this weekend”.

Four stations under the EIB umbrella – Starr103.5 FM, Ultimate 106.9FM, Agoo 96.9FM and Kasapa 102.3FM-have teamed up with the Tourism Ministry and many other sponsors to ensure that this year’s paragliding festival which features Amakye Dede, Kojo Antwi and Stonebwoy becomes memorable.

The sponsors include, Guinness Ghana Breweries Limited, Tigo, Ernest Chemist and Everpure Purified Water. The rest are Mamavits Noodles and Rice, Mentos Fresh and Action Gum.

The 10th edition of the festival which will take place at Kwahu Atibie in the Eastern region according to the Tourism Ministry will create opportunities for dealers in arts and craft to showcase and sell their goods to both local and international tourists who would be part of the celebrations.

The Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Elizabeth Ofosu Adjare, told Starr News :“15 different pilots from six countries: the United States of America (USA), Peru, France, Japan, Belgium, and Switzerland have confirmed their participation.”

Kojo Antwi in an interview with Bola Ray on Wednesday promised he would bring his A-game on.

“It’s everything for me,” he said,adding, “I was born there you know; so it’s more like homecoming for me”.

“My brother Amakye Dede would be there, Stonebwoy too…that young man is something else. We will give people an “experience” of a lifetime.”

The Akonoba hitmaker also hinted his mother would be joining him for his concert at the festival.

“My mother being there for the first time means a lot to me”.
