I wrote about Detty December yesterday and promised to show you all the Takoradi-Ghana version. Here I am, fulfilling my promise. So there’s something I forgot to add to yesterday’s post. Accra is the Capital of Ghana from January to November. In December, it’s Takoradi. We normally say Takoradi is Christmas and Christmas is tadi.
I’m not really going to bore you with any explanation. I’ll just show you with my detty December episodes in Takoradi. Detty December in Takoradi, Ghana starts officially with Made in Taadi. Made in Taadi is an annual concert for Takoradi people. It’s organized by Kofi Kinaata, a popular Ghanaian artist who was born and raised in Taadi. He organizes the concert as a way of giving back to his people.
I was scared of going because as I said yesterday, during this time, Kwashey boys are on duty. I was very careful with my phone and in as much as I wanted to show you all everything, I had to pick the highlights and then hide my phone most of the time. Even though, I went with a bodyguard, he left me at one point to do ….I don’t even know. Maybe it’s a sign that I should just sell this brother of mine.
Yesterday was really exciting and I didn’t even realize how fast time was going until it was morning. The location was a golf pack at the beach and for me, it was just perfect. At a point, the whole place got so packed and I won’t be surprised if we were 7000+ yesterday. I laugh anytime I remember that yesterday was just the beginning of Taadi enjoyment. Stay tuned!
