The much-anticipated Made in Taadi Concert, hosted by celebrated Ghanaian musician Kofi Kinaata, triumphantly returned after a two-year hiatus, drawing a record-breaking crowd of over 40,000 fans at the Jubilee Grounds in Takoradi.
The event, which Enterprise Life sponsored, kicked off with a youth seminar at the Western Serene Atlantic Hotel, Takoradi.
Themed ‘Bridging the Gap – From Dreams to Reality,’ the seminar brought together over 1,000 participants, including students and industry players.
Distinguished speakers included Philip Osei Bonsu of Ekosiisen fame, Wilson Arthur of Skyy Media Group, Kwame Adu Mante, CEO of Focus One Group, Pamela Arvoh-Mensah, a private legal practitioner, and Fiifi Buckman, a private legal practitioner and MP-elect for the Kwesimintsim Constituency.
They shared inspiring insights and practical tools to empower the youth to pursue their aspirations.
A team from the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) also took the participants through safe and regular migration topics.
At the Takoradi Sports Club, the main concert began with a meet-and-greet session.
The event officially launched into performances, showcasing over 20 emerging artists who warmed up the massive crowd.
The stage later saw electrifying performances from top-tier acts, including Eno Barony, Samini, Beeztrap KOTM, Donzy, Lasmid, Abochi, Nemesis Loso, and Orkortor Perry.
In a delightful twist, Fameye and Kwaw Kese, though not originally billed, surprised the audience with spontaneous performances that left fans ecstatic.
The show ended after an impressive 12-hour musical marathon.
Fans hailed Kofi Kinaata for the event’s seamless organization and its impactful blend of entertainment and youth empowerment.
With its massive success, the Made in Taadi Concert reaffirms its status as one of the most anticipated and impactful annual events in Ghana.
Management of Kofi Kinaata has since been hailed for the security details they ensured at the event.
With over 200 security personnel from Ghana Police, Ghana Airforce, Prisons Service, Private Security, and Ambulance Service, the event recorded no casualties and no major incidents, attracting thunderous applause on social media for such a record.
Made in Taadi has so far featured musicians like Kwaw Kese, Patapaa, KiDi, Obrafour, Joey B, Fameye, Sista Afia, Ayisem, Adina, and a host of others.
Kofi Kinaata On DJs Playing a Wrong Song
Ghanaian musician, Martin King Arthur, popularly called Kofi Kinaata, joined the list of top musicians commenting on Fameye’s unfortunate incident at the Dominion Center in London.
Kofi Kinaata disclosed that he doesn’t get angry when a DJ plays the wrong song when it is his turn to perform at events.
The ‘Things Fall Apart’ hitmaker emphasized that he doesn’t get angry on stage, contrary to what Fameye did.
“It happens a lot. Sometimes, due to the happy moment, the DJ forgets that there is a mistake, so all I do is tell him to stop. I sometimes also have someone closer to the DJ who tells him what to do.”

According to him, he gets angry when a DJ plays the wrong song, but he makes sure no one notices it.
He also noted that, sometimes, at that moment is the time the DJ shines. “You don’t know who is watching him, so I ignored him but expressed my concern backstage,” he added.
The musician revealed that when he encounters a situation where the sound is terrible, “I will ask them to stop playing the music, and I will do Acapella.”
“The same applies to a live band. I will tell the audience that I don’t know the band, and this is my first time seeing them. I am surprised they have been able to play while we have rehearsed before the show. “
