| Ghana's VIP feeding some kids of Nima |
Award-winning Ghanaian hip
life group VIP and some of the crème de la crème of Ghana’s music industry made
last Sunday’s Eid-ul-Fitr celebration a memorable one with great musical performances
to entertain fans.
They took turns on stage to
wow music fans at a show dubbed ‘Sallah
Fest 2012’, organised on the Nima main street.
Thousands of celebrants and
music fans in Accra and beyond thronged the streets of Nima to be part of the ‘Sallah
Fest’ which was described as one of the biggest street events ever.
Ahead of the electrifying performances, VIP feted
residents of Nima and its environs in the afternoon.
VIP,
in collaboration with EXP Ghana, engaged in various activities to give the people in Nima and Mamobi a good time during the
celebration.
On
Sallah morning, a large number of Muslims lined up on the
Nima highway with their mats to offer prayers to Allah before starting the
celebration.
The celebration started with
a buffet on a table measuring about 600 metres. The buffet fed about 10,000
people from Nima, Maamobi and Newtown.
The feast was accompanied by
the Muslim traditional way of celebrating the Sallah, which includes
traditional drumming and dancing and the chiefs of Nima riding horses in a very
unique fashion.
VIP joined the celebration
as the group went on the streets to show love to the Muslim community.
The day was crowned with a
free massive concert in the night hosted by VIP, which was discovered in Nima over
a decade ago.
The group thrilled thousand
of music fans who came out of their homes to celebrate. It performed its
repertoire while music fans sang and danced along.
There were exciting and good
performances by BET award winner Sarkodie, Tinny, 4x4, Efya and Iwan.
“Last nyt (night) Nima was
crazy; Big ups 2(to) ma (my) big bosses VIP...happy Sallah,” Sarkodie tweeted after
the show on Monday afternoon.
