Accra, Sept 13, Ghanadot/GNA - The
Ministry of Education, Science and Sports has launched the
official cheer song for the senior national team, the Black
Stars as they gear up for the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations to
be hosted by Ghana.
The song - a collaborative effort of seven top hip-life
artists, entitled "Stars for the Stars" was put together by
Omanye Group of Companies.
Leading the pack of seven musicians are Obrafour, Ofori
Amponsah, Tinny, Chicago, Batman Samini, Obour and Mentor
star, Adez.
The artists blended their respective unique style of singing
to form a rendition that compels any listener to either get
off his or her seat unto the dancing floor, tap the thumbs
or feet in recognition of the tune.
Aside the promotional motives attached to the song, it is
also aimed at raising funds for the activities of the team.
Launching the song, Mr Osei Bonsu Amoah, the Deputy Sector
Minister expressed confidence that the song will generate
massive interest in the tournament by a cross section of the
soccer loving Ghanaians.
"The whole nation should also be energized by the
involvement of the top musicians with the national spirit to
inspire our boys to reach the skies." The Minister said.
According to Mr Amoah the song should also be able to
provide a carnival atmosphere before and during the
tournament, encourage the team to conquer every opponent,
unite and celebrate Ghana and to raise funds for the team.
Mr Amoah expressed appreciation to the Omanye Group of
Companies for providing funds for the project as well as the
musicians for contributing to the success of the song.
Mr Arnold Asarfo Adjei, Chief Executive of Omanye Group of
Companies revealed that as part of the fund raising
exercise, his outfit was also embarking on concerts in the
four venue cities of Accra, Kumasi, Sekondi and Tamale and
