This the season for many things in Ghana. The land is dry; festival time is fast approaching; and we’re only few weeks away from the country’s most popular time for Wedding seasons

Wedding season can be a joyous yet stressful time. Couples are tightening guest lists, making last minute alterations to outfits and choosing a wedding photographer. If you’re preparing for your traditional Ghanaian wedding, here is one less thing to worry about. We’ve got a list of 10 songs you should add to your music playlist. No matter the ethnic group, these hit songs are sure to get your guests on the dance floor.

10. “Alingo”- P-Square

It’s fair to say that after more than a decade of making music, pioneering R&B/pop duo P-Square is a staple on the playlist of any Nigerian party (wedding, christening, wake…you name it, they’re probably being played). “Alingo” is the latest single to be released off the brothers’ ‘Greatest Hits’ album.
 

9.  “Yes/No”- Banky W

Hopefully, by the time this song comes on you and your significant other have already said ‘I do.’ Banky W’s “Yes/No” isn’t much of a dance hit, but it’s a cute tune for a sing-a-long during your wedding program’s more low-key moments

8. “You Go Kill Me Remix” – Sarkodie featuring EL, Ice Prince, Navio and Wizkid

Because there has to be at least one azonto dance competition at your wedding. It’s almost as essential as kola nut…almost.
Here’s the remix to the Sarkodie song that, arguably, set-off Ghana‘s azonto dance craze.

7. “Ife Wa Gbona”- Tiwa Savage featuring Leo Wonder

It’s another really cute song for the bride and groom. Tiwa and Leo detail a passionate love and the joy of getting married.
Cue the ‘awwww’.

6. “I love you”-Akwaboah

For the newly wed couple looking to make an upbeat entrance into their wedding, veteran singer Akwaboah gives you the perfect song.
“All the bridesmaids on the left, and all the groomsmen on the left. Are you ready? Let’s go!”

5. ”Break into 2”- Kumi gituar

It’s Kumi–the only artist who can make a song about spending money ‘romantic.’ With some vocals and a nice beat, this song a definitely a dance tune.
 

 

4. “Odo pa ” – Castro

It’s honestly about the bass. 2013 was a big year for Castro The swedro  artist took a break from telling us the “True Story” of being a “odo pa” with videos shot in the streets in the studio. This year, Castro  seemed he was focused on the dance floor

Yep, it’s ALL about the bass.

3. “Fine Fine Love”- J-Martins

Released in 2012, “Fine Fine Love” is another great song for a first dance between newly weds. Leave it to J-Martins to give Nigerian couples an upbeat love song.
Note: We don’t advise using J-Martin’s dance moves at any wedding.

2. “Limpopo”- Kcee

According to singer Kcee, “Limpopo” means ‘let’s have fun.’
Need I say more?
 

 

1. “Ada Ada” -Flavor N’abania

Listen. If you take nothing else away from this piece, hold tight to this song. It is, without a doubt, the Nigerian wedding song of the year.
Since his debut album was released in 2005, Flavour has been well-known for making hit songs that give traditional igbo music arrangements a modern twist. “Ada” is a traditional wedding anthem and quite possibly a classic.
Well done Flavour. Well done.
