Ghanaian musician Shatta Wale got a huge reception during his recent stint in Tamale for his highly anticipated concert with Fancy Gadam.

The concert came off at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium on June 8.

Scores of fans thronged the Tamale International Airport to welcome the musician and his entourage, which included his management team led by Sammy Flex and a lucky set of fans handpicked to fly with him.

The musician's arrival in Tamale brought the town to a standstill as hundreds of fans thronged the streets to see and meet Shatta Wale.

The On God hitmaker was captured spraying his fans with money - a trick he claims helps him manage the large crowd he usually draws.

Shatta Wale's first stop as he arrived in Tamale was the Chogu Naa's Palace, where he met some royal leaders ahead of the show.

As tradition demands, he was served with cola nuts, which are a symbol of hospitality, peace, and good fortune among many tribes in the Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh said,

"Fancy Gadam has proven to be the firebrand in Tamale, and he continues to leverage his relationship with Shatta Wale in an unprecedented way. I don't think he gets the necessary recognition he should for his efforts over the years, especially because his primary market is often not looked at critically by industry experts and award schemes."

Fancy Gadam suspends in the air during concert

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Fancy Gadam had successfully sold out the 4000-capacity Bukom Arena for his show last year.

A video of Fancy Gadam gracefully traversing the stage suspended by wires gained significant traction on social media.

Several artistes have replicated the flying entry globally. Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake performed in the air at his recent high-striding O2 concert in London.

This comes even as artistes in Ghana and West Africa at large continue to devise new innovative ways to thrill crowds at concerts.
