SAMINI Tamale Sallah Rock Is Tonight Despite False Reports
The much anticipated Tamale Sallah Rock, lead by Ghana sensational dancehall artiste Samini had Kaakie , Jupiter and Kofi Kinaata etc, scheduled
on Sunday, September 11, 2016 had been cancelled. Sighting alleged Gunshots in
some parts of Tamale. Unfortunately for the organizer’s, they never bothered to
find out the traditional events that takes place before, during and after every Sallah (Eid Adha) or Festival
celebration in the Northern Region Capital.
The Show will be happening Tonight, 12 September 2016, in a tweet by the newly named King of Music (YILA NAA) SAMINI, they are still in Tamale and the show is happening this night.

During festive celebrations, be it Eid or traditional, the Sapashini
men also known as the bodyguard of the chiefs usually fire gunshots on the eve
of Eid celebrations to notify the people that indeed the next day is Sallah
day. Firing of the gunshots is a sign or signal, to signify the commencement of
a festival, the sighting of a new moon or the death of an important native of
the land.
The likes of Zola Annual
Street Carnival organized by Zolahood, Zogbeli and Lamakara which has been
jointly named as Zolahood by the youth in these two areas. Maccasio will be
headlining this year Zola Street Carnival on Sallah day. The street carnival
will see the likes of Tuba Zaks, Deensi, Gaffachi, Chogu Boys and many more
The annual Wasati Street Carnival, the name ‘Wasati’ was
carved from the abbreviation of three suburbs of Tamale; Ward K, Salamba and
Tishegu by the youth of the three suburbs. According to the YIRIFA, This year’s
edition of the annual Wasati Street Carnival will see music rivals Don Sigli
and Lil K perform on the same platform, one of the rear times the two music
heavyweights in the Northern region will be performing on the same platform.Dream
Time Records Rappers, SKY de Tamale boy and Double Tee, silky singer, Basat and
the ‘Baansi Bulchini’, Destro are among
a long list of artists who will be performing at the street carnival.
These entire artistes are big names in the metropolis and
looking at the economy they can’t go for a show on the eve of sallah, return
home the next morning and begin to prepare for the Zolahood and Wasati streets
carnivals. Besides remember on the day of Eid, they will also have to wake up
early to prepare and go for the congregational prayers. After which, paying of
visits to family and friends. Distribution of food and drinks to family and
friends as well.
In my opinion the event didn’t have a proper planning and organization, the Tv, Radio and Online promotion was dull and not catchy, besides during every Sallah celebration major areas in the Northern Region Capital also have Sallah parties and festivals.
So the calling off should not be because of the alleged
gunshots in the metropolis but rather, unplanned, disorganized event by the organizer’s,
I hope they next time do their research and analysis before scheduling an event
anywhere. An apology from the High Grade
family and the organizers to the Tamale people will be deemed appropriate, that’s in my opinion.
