New singer Kofi Boakye is preparing to exhibit his stage prowess as he is billed to perform at Kumasi, the Garden City of Ghana, as part of this year’s Pink Highlife Concert on December 26.

He will be performing alongside Nana Acheampong, Ofori Amponsah, Daasebre Dwamena, K.K Fosu, Kofi Nti, Kwame Adinkra and other highlife artistes. The show is his first since he started gaining prominence on the entertainment scene.

He could not hide his joy with the news that he was going to be on alongside names as Nana Acheampong and Ofori Amponsah as he said was ready to prove to them his dexterity when it came to music.

“I’m dumbfounded. I just don’t have the exact phrase or sentence to qualify my joy but I think it’s by grace because I’m barely known in the Ghanaian music industry but one thing that I can assure the people of Kumasi is that they should be ready for something that they’ve never seen before.

“I’m going to challenge one of my own idols, Nana Acheampong on stage to a limit that will be very difficult for him to reach and as for Ofori Amponsah, I will make sure that he’ll pant for breath on stage because I want to be crowned the highlife king after the show.

“I really thank the organizers of this show for first putting up this show in the first place and also poaching me at this hour to show Ghanaians what I’m made of”.

The show, which is going to be an annual event at the Pink Panther Hotel in Kumasi, is going to be emceed by ace broadcaster Kwame Adinkra, who will also perform.
