GoldRiver, a full-service management, entertainment, and event company, debuts the maiden edition of Songs in Conversation, a unique and intimate music experience headlined by celebrated Ghanaian rapper Ko-Jo Cue. Held at the Dawa Dawa restaurant in Osu on February 2nd, the event provided an unforgettable experience where fans of Ko-Jo Cue had a 2.0 of the For My Brothers concert but intimate with an electrifying atmosphere.
Songs in Conversation is an unplugged and stripped-down music event designed to create a deeper connection between artists and their biggest fans. Through this exclusive experience, musicians share their songs and untold stories, offering fans a rare opportunity to engage with their artistry on a more personal level.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the event, CEO of GoldRiver, Mr David-Clay Onah, shared: “I created Songs in Conversation with the intention to pull back the curtains of the glitz and glamour of the music industry in order to reveal true music artistry. I want artists to be able to share their deepest stories, be transparent about their creative challenges, and reveal the meaning behind their songs. This gives fans the opportunity to feel more connected to the artists.”
He further elaborated on the problem Songs in Conversation seeks to address, stating: “We aim to deepen the connection between fans and artists. We recognise a huge disconnect, often created by fame, social media, or a lack of meaningful engagement. This distance leaves fans feeling like they don’t truly know or relate to the artists they admire. Our goal is to bridge that gap, fostering real conversations and strengthening fan communities, an essential part of building a lasting fanbase.”
Speaking about his experience, headline act Ko-Jo Cue fulfilled his dream of being in a highlife band. He shared, “It was a great start to my year. Getting to meet people in such an intimate setting and share these stories. Also, got to live my dream of being in a highlife band at Abrantie Spot – all in all, a fun night.”
The maiden edition of Songs in Conversation was an immersive experience, blending storytelling and live performances in an intimate setting. GoldRiver aims to feature a diverse lineup of artists as the event grows, ensuring that music lovers continue to experience their favourite songs in their purest form.
