Ghanaian rap artists Sarkodie and Okyeame Kwame have paid a courtesy call on Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
Ahead of the 2022 Memphis in May International Festival, Ghanaian musicians Okyeame Kwame and Sarkodie have paid a courtesy visit to the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Manhyia Palace.
Booked to perform at the festival, the two announced their readiness to do a special performance for the King who is a guest for this year’s festival which takes place in the United States of America (USA).
In the 45-year history of the festival, the city of Memphis, Tennessee, devotes the festival to a different country and culture every year, and this year, the festival is honouring the culture and heritage of Ghana.
“The Asantehene’s visit to Memphis will highlight some of Ghana’s culture and traditions as part of the Memphis in May International salute to the Republic of Ghana,” Memphis organisers stated.
Otumfuo would lead a contingent of paramount chiefs representing all regions under the Asante Kingdom, divisional chiefs, princes, and stool attendants of the Golden Stool for the five-day visit from May 3 to May 9, 2022.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu will also attend Ghana Live Riches and Rhythms performance at the Orpheum Theatre on May 5 and the Black Star Black Tie Gala on May 6, which will celebrate his 72nd birthday.
