African Legends Night 2022: Thrilling performances from Rex Omar, Amakye Dede, Efya and Samini
The tale of African heritage thrives on after a blissful night of lifetime performances and unforgettable memories during the 10th-anniversary edition of the historic African Legends Night held last Friday at the Grand Arena, Accra.
With the ever-eloquent Eunice Tornyi, Host of African Women’s Voices and the rib-cracker, Foster Romanus as the night’s hosts, this year’s event thrilled patrons with classical music with a mix of celebration and recognition of African musical heritage.
Ghana’s adorable music band, the Patchbay Band who served as curtain raisers sparked the atmosphere in the auditorium with live renditions of back-to-back hits of Ghana’s Highlife songs and a magical blend of Afrobeats hit tracks.
Taking on centre stage, the multitalented saxophonist, ABLA SAX reminisced with patrons with surreal performances with DJ Ganj of YFM on the turntables.
With an already electrified atmosphere, EFYA, Ghana’s music siren took the crowd to the next level.
Barely halfway through the night, she presented an ecstasy and an escape space for patrons to overlook Ghana’s World Cup loss.

Patrons gave a boisterous roar as Dancehall great Samini mounted the stage.

Abrantie Iron Boy Amakye Dede followed up close with a shutdown performance to round up the glorious night of bliss.
“African Legends Night has not only thrilled or presented fans with entertainment, but has been intentional in celebrating and recognizing the work of African music greats over the years, promoting our music heritage as well,” Ernest Boateng, CEO of Global Media Alliance stated.
“This year’s edition being our 10th year, has indeed been special. We just didn’t need to celebrate them but we also carved their names in the history books, inducting these music legends into the Music Legends Hall of Fame. The crowd was beyond excited. This is truly an unforgettable experience,” added Mr Boateng.
The African Legends Night over the years has served patrons with premium pan-African concerts, recognizing and celebrating living African music legends.
