Sena Dagadu for Phreak Out Festival

A line-up of fine artistes is expected to be showcased at the maiden edition of Phreak Out Live Festival scheduled for Saturday, February 20, at the Alliance Française in Accra. 

Phreak Out Live is a platform where disc jockeys, music producers, dancers and other artistes will interact with music lovers and appreciate artistic creations from each other.

Hungary-based Ghanaian artiste, Sena Dagadu of Irie Maffia fame will mount the stage with an eclectic mix of electronic and tropical music.

Born in Accra to a Hungarian mother and a Ghanaian father, she got involved with all kinds of creative activities including traditional drumming and dancing, poetry recital, acting and singing from childhood.

When she met DJ Mango, DJ Bosi and other well-known Hungarian underground hip hop and dancehall DJs and MCs in Budapest, Hungary in 2001, the working relationship gave birth to a pleasant freestyle hip hop.

Sena later worked with musicians from many different genres, thus grooming herself into a hard-boiled versatile artiste.

Irie Maffia, of which she is currently a member, is a pop band formed in Budapest in 2005. Their music is based on reggae and dancehall, which they blend with hip hop, funk and rock. She collaborated with VVIP on the group’s Skolom song and has worked consistently with the FOKN Bois.

Performing alongside Sena on the Phreak Out Live event will be some brilliant young artistes on the local scene.

These include Worlasi, Poetra, Yung Pabi, Quayba, Kojo-Cue and King Promise who are setting high standards with their socially-relevant music alongside great young producers such as Kuvie who are challenging the status quo with their work.

As part of the programme, a segment dubbed ‘Electric Warehouse’ will feature some of the best electronic music disc jockeys in Ghana and beyond at Plot 7 Lounge located at Osu in Accra, on the same night.

Kobby ‘Funky Professor’ Graham alongside Eddy Blay, Keyzuz and more will invade the venue with a heavy dose of mind-blowing music.
