TRIBUTE TO KEN KOFI BIMPEH (aka Papa KENTO)

Now the labourer's task is over. Now the battle day is past. Now upon the farther shore lands the voyager at last. Father, in thy gracious keeping leave me now thy servant sleeping( song by John Ellerton).

For we know that all things work for good for those who love the Lord. On 15th November 2012, we met in your house in Accra played games and did normal boys - boys moves together with Emma, Kimono and Cyril. We then move on to Ho on the 16th where we all sat down with boys (like Kpemi, K-Gee, Avo, Jay Lucie, Eskimo, Benito, Sakabutu, Dziwornu, Gameli, Slow-K, Wise, just to mention a few) at Mirage and Famacy. It was a great day even though we could not get the goat we wanted to buy the next day for pepper soup.
You left Ho on 18th November wishing us Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Most of us could not understand the motive behind your wishes but I did on the 27th December when the good Lord called you to His bosom.
A soldier as you are, you did not decline to the call but rather left us behind to continue your good work with Him. Kento, we know you are smiling right now and rejoicing with the good Lord but you have left a void which cannot be filled.
We can shed tears that you are gone, or we can smile because you have lived. We can close our eyes and pray that you will come back, or we can open our eyes and see all you have left. Our heart can be empty because we cannot see you, or we can be full of the love we shared. We can turn our back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or we can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. So we can remember you only that you are gone, or we can cherish your memory and let it live on. We can cry and close our minds, be empty and turn our back. Or we can do what you would want: smile, open our eyes, love and go on...
When someone we love dies we never quite get over it. We just slowly learn how to go on without them but always keeping them tucked safely in our hearts.
You will be greatly missed and will forever remain in our hearts.
We may not understand now but we know that God's ways are not our ways.
May perpetual light shine down on you, Kento!!!
BABA NA WOE..hede nyuiiiii, Kento papa Kento.

A great night of Afro beats, reggae vibes and DJs selecting floor filling sounds!

Seminal British Afro-beat pioneers who bought us "Sunshine Day" and more, with support from Fowokan - part of "Fairfield at 50" celebrations.

Support comes from Fowokan - original Cymande members Jimmy Lindsay and Sam Kelly reunited to form this fantastic roots reggae, funk influenced outfit.

Osibisa
Osibisa, founded in 1969, join jazz, funk, Caribbean, R&B, Latin and African rhythms. This legendary band have made 20 studio albums and collaborated with many other artists, including Stevie Wonder.

Formed in London by three Ghanaian and three Caribbean musicians, Osibisa played a central role in developing an awareness of African music among European and North American audiences in the 70s.

The Ghanaian founder members of Osibisa - Teddy Osei (saxophone), Sol Amarfio (drums) and Mac Tontoh, (trumpet) - were seasoned members of the Accra highlife scene before they moved to London to launch their attack on the world stage.

Osei and Amaflio had played in the Star Gazers, a top Ghanaian highlife band, before setting up the Comets, who scored a large West African hit with their 1958 single 'Pete Pete'. Tontoh was also a member of the Comets, before joining the Uhuru Dance Band, one of the first outfits to bring elements of jazz into Ghanaian highlife. The other founder-members of Osibisa were Spartacus R, a Grenadian bass player, Robert Bailey (keyboards) and Wendel Richardson (lead guitar), and Lasisi Amao (percussion & tenor sax).

The venture proved to be an immediate success, with the single 'Music for Gong Gong' a substantial hit in 1970 (three other singles later made the British Top 10: 'Sunshine Day', 'Dance the Body Music' and 'Coffee Song' with â??Woyayaâ?? charting at number 11 in the UK).

Osibisa's debut album displayed music whose rock references, especially in the guitar solos, combined with vibrant African cross rhythms. The band's true power only fully came across on stage, when African village scenarios and a mastery of rhythm and melody summoned up energy and spirit.

In November last year, the Miss Tourism Ghana UK (MTGUK) pageant was launched by the Hon Minister of Tourism, Ghana (Akua Senya Densua) at the UKCCA in Luton. Miss Delia Wigham was nominated to be princess for the launch year. What would have come across to many as just another pageant, is evolving to be a pageant of choice for many young, intelligent and confident ladies with Ghanaian heritage.

On 17th July 2012, Ghana Society UK, the rights owners of the MTGUK pageant had a press launch to officially start the search season for the maiden princess of MTGUK who would serve and act as Ghana's tourism ambassodor in the UK. Post press launch evaluation the Ghana Society UK team has indicated that the media in attendance was thrilled at the novel approach to generating buzz and publicity for MTGUK.

What makes MTGUK stand out from the rest is that in addition to giving contestants the opportunity to learn and know more about Ghana, through its mentoring scheme, it also will open doors in the ever developing and lucrative tourism industry locally and internationally.

This is an opportunity that young ladies in the UK who have Ghanaian lineage should take advantage. As Miss Wigham's reign gradually draws to a close, she definitely would cherish her time as the nominated princess for 2011. If we go by MTGUK/MissWigham's facebook postings, it becomes obvious that being the nominated princess has been worth every single moment.

Ghana Society UK and their partners are determined to build on the gains and experiences of the first year of MTGUK. The registration process is already underway and will close on the 8th of September, 2012, and the live auditions start straight away. Interested ladies can download application forms and further information about the pageant from the MTGUK site.

MTGUK pageant is dubbed as a pageant of difference, and I believe that young ladies out there can't wait to be the ones to make that difference. The time then to act is now, without any further delay. Stay logged on as I bring you more updates for this year's MTGUK pageant.
