Factors that helped Contributed To Shatta’s Freedom Wave Concert.

Tsormanah said:

Shatta pulled a larger crowd than the maiden edition of the Freedom Wave Concert and there are factors that helped. Like the Wizkid factor. Looking at what happened at the Wizkid concert, I believe the fans were charged up to also prove a point.

The sitting Arrangement Helped

Mr Tsormanah also pointed out a key factor that many people might not notice. But as a big wig in showbiz, the music executive observed that the seating arrangement at the concert was different than most shows held at the stadium.

Tsormanah postulated:

What they got right was the sitting arrangement. For all the shows that happen at the stadium, usually, there is one side of the stadium and there is the stands and where the stage will be built, you find people seated there. But this time around, everyone was made to sit at the oval. That also helped the videos that popped up to look good and make the stadium look filled to capacity.

What Shatta Wale Is Doing Right

According to Tsormanah, Shatta’s die-hard fan base contribute a lot to his success. He urged him to keep doing what is working for him.

The SM family is like a religion so the more you ginger the fans up, the more they adhere to the principles and values of the religion. It is like any other religion.
