On the evening of December 28th, 2024, Lord Morrgan, the talented Ghanaian Afrobeat sensation, captivated over 7,000 attendees at the highly anticipated Afienya Fest.
The event, which was held in the lively town of Afienya, lasted for four days from December 26th to December 29th and featured a diverse array of performances.
Hosted by the Afienya Development Committee, the festival highlighted the cultural richness of the town, and Lord Morrgan’s performance on the 28th marked a major highlight of the event.
The night, which was part of the Durbar of Chiefs and Artist Night, saw an electrifying atmosphere as multiple local artists took the stage.
However, it was Lord Morrgan’s high-energy Afrobeat performance that truly stole the spotlight.
The musician’s set included crowd favourites like Party Time, Be Nice to Me, Baby, Ayalolo, Drink Something, and Kpanla. His ability to blend infectious rhythms with meaningful lyrics resonated deeply with the local fans, who sang back-to-back with him throughout the night.
One of the most memorable moments of the evening came when a fan threw cash at Lord Morrgan in an act of appreciation, a gesture that was reciprocated by Morrgan’s team.
In a show of generosity, they returned the money, scattering it amongst the crowd to spread the joy. But the surprises didn’t end there: the artist, known for his genuine connection with his fans, pulled out bundles of cash from his own pocket and showered the audience with them.
Perhaps the most heartwarming moment came when Lord Morrgan invited a fan on stage after the fan jokingly asked for anything from the artist. True to his word, Lord Morrgan gifted the fan his own sneakers, sparking cheers and applause from the crowd.
The night also highlighted Lord Morrgan’s loyalty to his fanbase, many of whom are from the surrounding areas, and who have embraced his music as an expression of their own culture. The chemistry between the artist and his fans was palpable, and it was clear that Lord Morrgan’s music resonates deeply with the tribe.
Before the performance, Lord Morrgan shared an exciting update with the audience: he recently travelled to Turkey to shoot the music video for his hit song, Kpanla.
Looking ahead to 2025, he promised even greater musical projects, which are sure to keep his growing fanbase on the edge of their seats.
During the event, the Afrobeat star also addressed a question from the audience about why he doesn’t perform frequently at other shows in Ghana.
With characteristic humor and confidence, Morrgan revealed that his fees are on par with some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, and Sarkodie, which makes it challenging for most event organizers to meet his requirements.
The night was made even more special by the attendance of local dignitaries, including Members of Parliament, Assembly Members, Chiefs, and other notable figures in society.
Lord Morrgan’s performance at Afienya Fest 2024 will surely be remembered as one of the most dynamic and fan-engaging performances of the year.
As he continues to rise in prominence, fans can expect more unforgettable moments like these in the future. Morrgan’s promise to share more stage experiences in 2025 is a testament to his unwavering commitment to his craft and his audience.
