When tickets for this year’s Decemba to Rememba concert\u00a0(#D2R2015) started running out around 11 am on Thursday, it certainly was a clear sign that this time it would be different.<\/p>\n

Thousands of music lovers clad in white top and jeans let down their hair and made #D2R2015 the official Christmas party.<\/p>\n

They danced, shouted, sang along and tweeted their way to the top trends.\u00a0Atom kicked off the show by building up the energies of the audience for a long night\u00a0with an energetic performance of their hit song \u201cYe Wo Krom\u201d.<\/p>\n

And for a show that precede Christmas, it was indeed not out of place to get patrons in the mood for Christmas as Addaquaye and the Bitonic singers delivered some of the greatest carols that got the audience involved.<\/p>\n

\"Audience\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The man whose songs have flooded the airwaves, Bisa Kdei, got everyone singing and dancing to his latest songs Mansa and Brother Brother.<\/p>\n

A night of music and dance would certainly not have been complete without a dose of laughter and comedy. Nigerian Comedian Hogan, took the audience through a non-stop rib-cracking comedy that could have at least solicited a smile even from\u00a0a ghost.<\/p>\n

Two other \u00a0lucky patrons were also rewarded with Samsung Galaxy A5 and A3 respectively , whiles the fourth winner took away a wireless speaker. The giveaways were offered by Stanbic Bank, one of the sponsors of this \u00a0D2R 2015.<\/p>\n

Hogan left the stage for the ‘Telemo’ man, Gasmilla, who came with a well-crafted stage performance spiced with amazing dancers and wowed the audience.<\/p>\n

Then came the good old Kontihene, whose old songs never seem to fade from the memories of music lovers. With back to back performances of his old hit songs, he moved the ecstatic crowd to sing along with him before moving to the new tracks.<\/p>\n

The next act was Wisa of ‘Ekiki Me’ fame, who thrilled the fans to a heated performance but generated controversy by stripping and robbing his manhood behind his female dancer on stage.<\/p>\n

Just when it looked like the energies of patrons were fading away at dawn, then came the biggest act of the night, BET Award winner and Ghana’s 2015 artiste of year, Stonebwoy.<\/p>\n

Hits after hits with great rap, the Dancehall artiste brought his A-Game to bear on the night as he promised the audience before the show.<\/p>\n
