Kwaw Kese's Big Welcome @ Paradise Grill in NY

Bronx, NY

A message reached 3G Media Inc. from Ghana courtesy of ever popular and respecful radio personality; Gilbert "Abeiku Santana? Aggrey with the hit show; "Efie Kwanso" on Adom FM. It stated that the King of Hiplife; Kwaw Kese aka "Abodam" had arrived in the USA and must be contacted and offer him a big welcome. A phone call was made and a voice came on the phone and when asked to speak to Kwaw Kese, the respondent said "I am Kwaw Kese" and confirmed the message that has been sent from Abeiku. In the phone conversation, this artiste appeared humble, hilarious and presented as a nice person to have a conversation with. He is scheduled to performed at the upcoming Independence concert - courtesy of JQ Promotions in Silver Spring on Saturday; March 8th.

3G Media took the opportunity to welcome him to the USA and officially invited him to come to NY for a visit. As always the tradition in NY; whenever a major Ghanaian artiste arrives in the US, 3G Media Inc. and Boogie Down Nima will invite the artiste for dinner at a local Ghanaian restaurant. The star will be treated like royalty; the Ghanaian way and also meet industry heavyweights and his US fans. The reason behind this concept according to 3G Media Inc is that; "We have to respect our own and give them the recognition they deserve; said; Charles Nimmo Ntiamoah-Mensah (Mr. CNN), CEO of 3G Media Inc. "No one will come from the outside to give the publicity our artistes need". It is also a time to have a one on one with the artiste and see his vision. Throughout the visit, the team will help make the artiste leave a positive footprints as well as becoming marketable in America.

Kwaw Kese arrived in NY and was picked up from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel by Hashim Haruna, CEO of Boogie Down Nima and his team; Lazy of VIP and hot up and coming US artiste; Nana NYC. They drove around in downtown Manhattan to see NY, did some shopping and them headed to the Bronx.

When they arrived at the Paradise Grill Restaurant and African Market, (located on 153rd and 3rd Avenue - they serve good food, spacious, excellent hospitality and very clean) some of hs fans were waiting. Paradise Grill also has an African Market where one can do grocery shopping and buy their favorite African movies featuring their favorite movie stars.

The host; Ms Na-adei Williams who offered a great customer service served Kwaw Kese with a great meal; Banku and Okro stew which he really enjoyed. He had the opportunity to meet his fans and take some memorable pictures with them. Kwaw told 3G he was excited to be in New York, enjoyed the hospitality and the meeting of his fans. This really showed that for one to have a great time in US, he or she must visit NY.

Hashim who has been busy promoting the first ever concert on US soil by Samini was excited that Kwaw has come to New York to meet his fans. He admired Kwaw Kese's friendliness and being low key. He offered advise to the artiste that he should continue to be humble because humility always opens doors for many opportunities in America. He must continue to reinvent himself and not follow the crowd. He said 3G Media Inc and his company is always available to offer any support needed to promote his career as a bonafide recording artiste.

Boogie Down Nima will lead the artiste to meet community leaders in NY. He will first visit the Consul General at the Ghana Missions before his performance on March 8th in Maryland.

Kwaw Kese will return to Ghana after a two week visit. We expect this great artiste back to the USA in the summer.
