IN PICTURES: The Talk Party Series [FEB 2013]

GOLD COAST HAZE w/ BILS RAYOE

What a blast we had at last month’s Talk Party! We switched up venues and headed over to The Lexington, the rock-swag-swank shindig that’s quickly become a weekly live music haven in Accra. Loads of folk came out to chill with Tawiah – we had a listening party for her new mixtape album, FREEDOMdrop [before its release this Spring] and premiered the video for her third single, “Faces” [directed by Mantse Aryeequaye, REDD Kat Pictures].

Then we rapped with Tawiah [via her bedroom in London] and members of the audience asked questions about her songwriting process, anticipation for the new album, and her thoughts on the DIY creative scene in Accra. We were stoked when Tawiah agreed to one fan’s request to give an impromptu performance. She swiftly grabbed her guitar and cheerfully obliged. Afterwards, Kobby Graham and DJ K3V kept us in an azonto tizzy on the dance floor into the AM.

The Talk Party Series is back on tonight – Friday, March 29th at Passions Premium Restaurant, Osu Ring Way [2 streets behind Country Kitchen], 6:30 – 9:30pm.
