Obrafour kicks off US Tour 2023 with first Concert on March 3rd – Announces Tour Dates
Celebrated Ghanaian Hiplife Legend, Obrafour, gets back on the road in March for his Music Tour of USA.
Dubbed “My Homeland Concert”, Obrafour takes on the stage at the Palladium, Times Square in New York. The show starts at 18:00hrs ET – 21:00hrs ET.
The aim of the concert is to bring together various Ghanaian, Diasporean (Black American) Communities as well as American citizens and other citizens of the world. The event is to also highlight the rich Ghanaian Culture through the power of Hiplife music, which has been the foundation music for today’s African sounds celebrated as Afrobeats.
The event powered by Ensah Boyz x Safcom Group.
Tickets for the event are already on sale via www.TicketMaster.com for sale.
This maiden event is supposed to spark the tall list of shows to be played by the Ghanaian Music Icon, Obrafour, across various parts of USA.
Obrafour is one of the foundation Fathers of Hiplife Music in Ghana; he has contributed tremendously to the growth, evolution and sustenance of the rap culture on the local scene in Ghana since the 1990s. His debut Album “Pae Muka” released in 1999 still stands out of dozens of Hiplife catalagoes, as arguably, the best of the earliest Hiplife records released. In 2019, Obrafour had a string of gigs and events to celebrate a 20-year journey for that debut Album. Within the space of 2 decades and still countin, Obrafour has released several other Albums, notable among them are “Asem Sebe”, “Heavy”, “Kasiebo”, just to name a few.
His upcoming USA Tour also typifies a good reconnect with his Fans abroad and rekindle the Ghanaian spirit during the time of the country’s Independence Celebrations which happens yearly on March 6.
