The musician started with several songs from his old basket like 'Mmaa Formula', ‘Serwaa Akoto', ‘Philomena', and then moved on to a couple of new songs on his current album, ‘Kangaroo’. Fans moved and grooved to his style, with the girls literally swooning. No one was seen sitting; everybody was standing, making it look as if the place was meant for dancing.
