7/7/12 jam at Portobello night club
If you were not at the 7/7/12 jam at the Portobello night club on Saturday, it will simply mean you missed the most exhilarating party this year has ever witnessed. The anticipated party started at 10:00pm, with a music video shoot by Mufa Multimedia Production. Mufa Multimedia Production is one of the best if not the best video production house in the north, their presence at the party added more colour to the event with all the wonderful people who were there to party their hearts out. At first I was worried the dj will not be able to satisfy the crowd with the right music mix they needed to keep them on their feet but I was very amazed by the performance of Kwaku Tee who was the dj for the night. Not only did he succeed in keeping the crowd on their feet he also updated us with the latest music. There was all sort of drinks flowing everywhere and also all kind of dance style but the most common was the Azonto dance although most people were not good at the dance they cared less who was watching since it was not a competition but a time to have fun. Although I was there to observe and to write a story about the event I was lost in the excitement, the people at party danced, drunk and did all the party things party people do at a party. I finally left the part at 3:30pm very satisfied, I think the organizers deserve an appraisal for their hard work and success.
