Amara Denis Turay, popular on stage as Kao Denero said to be the undisputed King of Africa rap music and the CEO of BLACKLEO Records, is reported to have placed Sierra Leone music on the African music stage after the release of his latest disc track ‘KENYATTA.’
The rapper has finally got top bloggers, DJs, YouTubers and music fans from across Africa talking about Sierra Leone music. The attention Sierra Leone music has got after Kao’s breakthrough is unprecedented. Day in day out, top blogs are talking about Kao Denero and Sierra Leone music.
Despite social media campaigns against his upcoming show, some would like to assure Salone music lovers that Kao Denero will launch his latest album ‘KISS THE THRONE’ at the Siaka Stevens Stadium in Freetown on the 21st March 2020. The rapper will celebrate with music fans across the country and in the sub-region. This great event will be graced by top media outlets across Africa, the likes of Hip TV, Sound City and more.
In that regard, the Management and organizing team for the upcoming music concert is informing all and sundry that Kao Denero is apolitical. He has no interest in politics. He has moved on with his career and personal life. They are pleading to everyone who still holds grudges against the rapper to forget about the past and appreciate him for what he is currently doing for the music industry. According to them it is the biggest opportunity Sierra Leone music has got to hit the international audience and markets, further appealing not to destroy the golden opportunity in the name of politics. “Let’s not deprive our country from this opportunity. Entertainment is the fastest means of rebranding a country,” they pleaded.
As far as they are concerned his contributions to Sierra Leone music should not be overshadowed by a ‘single mistake’ whatsoever. They said at this crucial time in industry, we should consider the bigger picture which is Sierra Leone. “We once again extend our sincere apologies to all who were hurt in one way or the other. See you all at the Siaka Stevens Stadium on March 21st 2020 and party with the King of Africa,” they further appealed.
