Why Ghana never prospers: the issue of theft
» ‎ I HEART ACCRA

Imagine the disgusted expression on my face when a friend of mine in America drew my attention to this:

Not only does this article have our business name as it's title but it is also doing exactly what we do and they even went so far as to illustrate her wearing our badges, and all the butterflies... (Diary of a Social Butterfly) Crickey whatever next???
You know, it is one thing to admire someones business ideas but it is an entirely different matter to steal them or play them off as your own. It is no secret that the whole concept for I Love Accra came from I love New York, I thought they love their city and I love mine so why not?
Since I began this whole I Love Accra/ I Heart Accra thing I've had knocks from every which way. People trying to use me to progress their business at a disadvantage to myself, website developers taking the money and not doing the job, people trying to stop me from doing the business that I'm doing, people reporting the page on facebook, people sending me insulting messages, people threatening me, people getting our publishing rights revoked, no one ever asks questions, they just assume and presume then go ahead and judge and all this because I love Accra...
Ghana, today all I have to say to you is this, "If you want to be loved you must first learn to love yourself." Like the old Akan proverb states: 'If you think you are cheating me you will soon learn that it is indeed yourself that you are cheating'.
The world watches on as these things are being done so continue, in the mean time thanks to the magnificent grace of God we will continue to do our thing.

Meet the Artist - Larry Otoo
» ‎ I HEART ACCRA

The Foundation for Contemporary Art, Ghana invites you to MEET THE
ARTIST - LARRY OTOO

Larry Otoo is a Ghanaian artist, born in 1956 and presently working
and living in Accra. He graduated form the College of Art at the
University of Science and Technology in Kumasi in 1981. Additionally
he has a Master’s degree in African Art and Comparative Literature
from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.

Larry is “one of the most successful artists in Ghana, with
exhibitions in Europe, Canada and the United States.” His style has
been described as encompassing realism, expressionism and abstraction.
However he himself seems to have a bias towards the latter, he
believes “there will be a shift from realistic painting to more
abstract painting. Abstract is a form that permeates every society. It
is universal.”

The content of his work is primarily inspired by Ghanaian day to day
activities. He has described how “Each time I pick up the brush to
paint, I have a strong feeling that an obligation has been placed on
me to record and preserve our tradition visually.” He gathers
inspiration from the positive images of everyday life “music, the
market, the seamstress’s place” and considers himself to be a social,
rather than political commentator. However he does not simply paint
the ‘traditional’ images around him but rather more “contemporary
things, like fashion shows….and sports, like billiards, football or
golf.” Additionally Jazz music, which he was exposed to as a child,
seems to have inspired and influence Larry Otoo significantly. “The
music is almost tangible in the abstract rhythm with which he paints
his musicians.”

DATE: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 13, 2009

Venue: Alliance Francaise

Time: 4:00PM – 6:00PM

Arlecchino
» ‎ I HEART ACCRA

This week although I've been busy preparing all the wonderful changes and additions we've got coming I did take the time out (finally) to check out Arlecchino (meaning harlequin), the new Italian ice cream parlour on Cantonments road (Oxford street), Osu. Loved the ice cream and the olive pastry was delish too. Looking forward to trying some of their other sweet treats.
Check them out when you get the chance..

I am dead against cigarette smoking and think it is the most disgusting thing EVER invented. So now I've found a solution I just HAVE to share (being the information distributor that I am lol).
After the ban of public smoking in the UK and other places I guess smokers and tobacco companies have had some time to think things through and have come to their senses at last because today my brother sent this link
>>Click of the week

Safe cigarettes, without the fumes.
Now all you smokers go buy them immediately and stop killing us all! ^_^

Tell me what you think guys... Christmas Drive?
» ‎ I HEART ACCRA

I have been thinking about doing a Christmas drive this Christmas (for the past hour) (we've got Antoine to thank for this ^_^). And seeing as a Christmas drive would involve everyone being driven I thought I'd ask you, our blog readers, what you thought of the idea.

The I ♥ Accra Christmas drive. On Christmas day we all show Accra how much we care and make someone else's Christmas special. We won't be asking for any cash donations but we will be asking for people to contribute food, drinks and their time. I know Christmas is supposed to be a time for families but there are people in our beloved city that have no families or no one that cares about them enough to make their day memorable so why don't we sacrifice as we were sacrificed for and dedicate our Christmas to someone else this year?

Let me know what you think of the idea.

THE CULTURE CARAVAN
» ‎ I HEART ACCRA

On the road from 30^th April to 7^th of May 2009

Brought To You By the French Embassy and Vodafone

Organized by the Cultural Affairs Services of the French Embassy in partnership with Vodafone, the Cultural Caravan is an initiative designed to challenge artists to develop entertainment by creating new ideas and material which will help the local industry grow. The Culture Caravan is a musical in a contemporary context, with a DJ, a band, traditional musicians, dancers, artists and actors taking you through local fables, daily drama, current news and issues in a format that bears some resemblance to Concert Parties. Starring Hiplife Grandpapa Reggie Rockstone, Kwaw Kese, King Ayisoba, Wanlov the Kubolor, DJ Black, Master Drummer Okyerema Yaw Kontor and his all female drummers and theatre starlet Abena Takyi amongst others.

Arnaud Dornon, Head of Cooperation and Cultural Affairs at the French Embassy spent months developing the concept with Pidgen Music, and enlisted the help of renowned Director Michel Crespin (nicknamed the “Pope of Street Art” in France) to assist with the project. Speaking about the collaboration, he said “the French Government appreciates how important our culture is to our development and economy, and I am very excited by this project, which combines the best from France with the best from Ghana.This is also a new era in commercial partnerships and we are very happy to have Vodafone as sponsors of this project.”

Panji Anoff, the Artistic Director, is very upbeat. “People don’t even know that Reggie Rockstone is an actor who went to drama school and performed in many plays in the U.K. before hiplife. We have Reggie, Wanlov the Kubolor, Kwaw Kese, King Ayisoba and Abena and Yaw Kontor acting roles, performing their hit songs and DJ Black scratching video.This will be a real treat for the audience. Ghanaians are always eager for something refreshing and it is time our artists are challenged with real opportunities to show their talent and ability.”

Vodafone’s sponsorship of this Culture Caravan is a first in the industry. As David Anku, Events manager at Vodafone puts it, “At Vodafone we believe in supporting the local arts industry. By associating with this novel concept, we are saying that we are ready to see it make waves and look forward to the reviews that it will garner.”

The Culture Caravan is brought to you by the French Embassy and proudly supported by Vodafone. Media Partners: TV3, The Multimedia Broadcasting Company and the Graphic Communications Group.

Things to look out for...
» ‎ I HEART ACCRA

Being the nerd that I am I've been scavenging the net as usual and just want to point you in the direction of a few websites that I figured you might all be interested in.

The first is Global Entrepreneurship Week Ghana. Save the dates 17th - 23rd November 2008.

http://www.ghanaenterpriseweek.com/

The second is a fantastic soon to be launched Afro'styled magazine I recently discovered called Pop'Africana I love the concept of it and I know you will too. At the moment it's just being piloted but from April of next year there will be more from the pop'Africana team. That's one to watch guys. I can't wait to see the first issue!

http://www.popafricana.com

And last but by no means least is our very own (GH) Chale TV which will be piloted from the 17th of this month I believe. It's definitely worth a browse and not to be scoffed at. Love it! *Unfortunately you can't actually check it out until it goes live on the 17th so mark your calendars and keep your eyes peeled. Soon your TV will be obsolete!

www.chale.tv and www.mychale.net/

More great sites coming soon...

Social Networking Pages GH
» ‎ I HEART ACCRA

I was cruising through the world wide web when I came across these:

http://www.meetghana.com/ and [www.ghanaflicks.com]

and thought hmm, how interesting... Ghana seems to be producing quite a number of social networking and general information sharing sites these days, I didn't know there were that many people doing that sort of thing over here... It's funny that they go through all the hassle of making a social networking page and then don't even do any offline advertising.

A weekend to remember
» ‎ I HEART ACCRA

Last weekend was definitely worth all the work thanks to Mike O amp; Eugene of Xclusive Vista Entertainment. True to their word they gave us a show like no other. I HEART ACCRA would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them on the outstanding success of the show which was superbly pulled off even with all the glitches and problems they faced.br /br /Well done guys more grease to your elbows!br /br /On Saturday night one of the official sponsors for the show Hennessy held a Private Hennessy Party at Embar with the most delicious Hennessy cocktails ever! All I need to say is "Miami by night". All the drinks were on the house by kind courtesy of all the lovely people at Hennessy and EVERYONE had a great time.br /br /The show on Sunday was even more spectacular than I imagined it would be. The local acts Scientific, Praye, 4x4, Asem, Skillions, Peer Pressure and all the others were fantastically well put together and Reggie blew us all away with his suit, words and sounds.divbr /Miss Trinity was just what the guys needed to get them going and there was nothing but smiles from the three lucky guys picked to go on stage.divbr //divdivOmarion... Omarion was wonderful, he danced and he sang and the crowd went wild over and over and over again as he gave us all a no holds barred performance. Ghana would like to show her appreciation to him for coming through on such short notice. He was pretty impressed with how Ghana held it down on the dance floor too (see pics for more details on that)./divdivbr //divdivFat Joe gave an un-miss-able performance and played a few tricks on us all along the way. He sincerely apologized for being unable to make it the day before due to ill health and disassociated himself and Xclusive Vista from the disappointment caused by Sean Kingstons failure to attend. He went on to congratulate the boys on their work and guarantee Accra that this was only the beginning and there would be only bigger and better shows from XVE./divdivbr //divdivI HEART ACCRA is proud to have been associated with The State of the Republic concert and would like to once again congratulate Mike amp; Eugene on a job well done.br /divbr /Pics coming soon./div/div/divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8027898362512586523-2906630014420013382?l=iheartaccra.blogspot.com'//div
