From tours to high-profile meetings – Gambo’s 2024 in retrospect

As the curtain closes on 2024, Ghanaian rapper Bashir Annan, popularly known as Gambo, can finally recline and reflect on the year with a smile. From releasing his highly successful musical project ‘1 More Bullet’ to touring several states in North America, Gambo exceeded expectations, firmly establishing 2024 as his year of musical triumphs and cultural diplomacy. He capped the year with a series of remarkable achievements worth applauding.

The biggest highlight of these was the release of ‘1 More Bullet,’ an ode to Hip-Hop. The exciting extended play featured an impressive lineup of collaborations, including some of Ghana’s hottest acts, E.L. and Kofi Jamar, each gracing the mic on ‘Enjoyment’ and ‘Conversation,’ respectively. The much-anticipated remix of ‘Drip,’ featuring veteran American rapper Jim Jones and Ghana’s Edem, was another standout track.

Promoting Ghanaian Culture

Gambo’s musical releases of 2024 went beyond mere hit-making and entertainment; they aimed to promote Ghanaian culture internationally. As a believer in music’s ability to shape the country’s tourism industry, the rapper crafted each track to be a musical export. Now embracing his self-assigned role as the brand ambassador of Ghana to the World, Gambo is more than committed to using his music journey to celebrate and share Ghanaian culture with audiences worldwide.

North America Tours

In addition to his musical milestones, Gambo also toured several states in North America in 2024, performing alongside Nigerian Afrobeats singer Young Jonn. This grand tour took them to some of the region’s historic cities, including Montreal, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Providence, Chicago, and Oakland.

High-profile Meetings

One of the most notable moments from Gambo’s year was meeting with legendary American rapper Snoop Dogg. Interestingly, this was not his first meeting with a rap icon; he had previously met American rapper and producer Jermaine Dupri. The meeting with Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, was a fruitful networking session–a significant step in cultural diplomacy, likely to result in some exceptional collaborations.

As Gambo looks to 2025, it’s clear he will continue to be a prominent force in the local music industry and beyond its power of influence. With his unique blend of Hip-Hop and Ghanaian culture, the serial hitmaker is prepared to take his craft to new heights and inspire a new generation of artists.
