The many regional dishes and beverages were on display to help patrons relive their favourite cultural experiences in the traditional Ghanaian kitchen.
The highlight of the second day of Citi FM/Citi TV’s ‘Back to Your Village Food Bazaar’ was the moment Ghanaian palm wine highlife band, Kwan Pa took centre stage with its enthralling performance.
Even though they perform with traditional musical instruments, they also add a modern touch to most of their compositions.
Typical of their style of music, palm wine highlife band started with typical highlife music, did a mishmash of contemporary highlife and hiplife, among others.
The Kwan Pa band comprises four members: Frederick Kwame Minamor, Bismark Kwabena Safo, Evans Ntie, and Asa Nkansah. All four members play a musical instrument each and double as vocalists.
