Multiple-award-winning dancehall musician Stonebwoy has announced December 23rd, 2022 as the date for the sixth installment of his annual concert series, BHIM Concert.
This week, the Accra-based international reggae, dancehall, and afrobeats artistes announced a social media post that the most patronized Ghanaian indoor concert will return to its ritual venue, the Grand Arena (Accra International Conference Centre, AICC), on December 23rd, 2022. The musician will perform songs from across his discography, backed by a full band.
After a year hiatus due to the outbreak of COVID-19, Bhim Concert returned in December 2021. The Burniton Music Group produced event, themed “Beam of Hope”, featured special guest, Jamaican reggae & dancehall heavyweight, Beenie Man, and some of the country’s most talented musical artistes, such as DBlack, MzVee, Kofi Kinaata, and more who delivered noteworthy performances.
The goal of music’s biggest night, which attracts fans from all over the world, is not only to have a positive and significant economic and cultural impact on the country but also to be one of the most anticipated annual events in the city—a perfect complement to the existing national events in December.
Details regarding ticket prices and the time of the 2022 Bhim concert are yet to be communicated. Meanwhile, Stonebwoy has scheduled two concerts for December: Afrochella Festival on December 28 & 29 and Afronation Festival on December 29 & 30.
Stonebwoy has been exceptionally busy this year, having recently signed a world record deal with Universal Music Group/Def Jam Recordings. The 2015 BET award-winner released two official singles, “Therapy” and “Gidigba”, and has performed at over 15 festivals across Europe and America, most notably SummerJam Festival, Reggae Sundance Festival, Global Citizen Festival, Afropunk Festival, Uppsala Reggae Festival, Afrobeats Festival, and the self-curated Ashaiman To The World Festival. He also scored enviable collaborations this year with renowned reggae musicians, Gentlemen, and Alpha Blondy.
Stonebwoy released his last album, “Anloga Junction” in April of 2020; it featured Diamond Platnumz, Kojo Antwi, Jahmiel, Alicai Hailey, Zlatan, and Keri Hilson. The album currently has over 100 million streams across all credit.
