VIP, Happy FM Rock Nima With Salafest Jams

To thank the Muslim community and fans of the station on their seventh anniversary, Happy 98.9FM organised a massive street jam with Ghana’s Hip-life trio VIP to celebrate with residents of Nima after their fasting period in the just-ended Ramadan.

Held at the Nima Highway on Friday, the Happy FM Sala Street Jams drew a large crowd from Nima, New Town, Pig Farm, Mallam Attah, Circle, Mamobi, Kanda, Russia, Sukula, Madina, Fadama, and other Muslim dominated suburbs of Accra.

Management, staff and presenters of Happy FM were there in their numbers to interact with the crowd who could not have enough of VIP, Tic Tac, Nana Boro and all the other guest artistes on board who blazed the atmosphere with sensational music all day till mid-night.

According to Station Manager, Bismark Brown, Happy FM is committed to offering a total entertainment package to its listeners through sports and any other means possible. “The Sala Street Jams is one such means through which we can best connect with our Muslim brothers and sisters especially at a time like this.
