The Sobolo+Chicken show seeks to entertain, educate and inform citizens in the most compelling way including the use of drama.<\/p>\n
The host of the show, Gombilla the Poet, is a final year student of the University of Ghana whose interest in the art has seen him perform at various gatherings including national events.<\/p>\n
Among his famous works are ‘Letter to Nkrumah’ and ‘Homosexuality’, and ‘Shatta Wale is a god’.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the number of attendees of my poetry show, I am optimistic about the future of Poetry in Ghana. It\u2019s just a matter of time. It has never been like this before in Ghana. I am grateful to Allah. I am glad I have a solid team behind me. I am also glad my works are loved by the good people of Ghana,\u201d he said in an interview.<\/p>\n
