Award-winning Ghanaian trap rapper, Bashir Annan, popularly known as Gambo, returned from the United States of America (USA) to a rousing welcome.
The highly-talented rapper was received at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Accra on Saturday, July 15, 2023, by scores of his excited fans and entertainment journalists from the leading television, radio stations, and online portals in Ghana including GTV, GHONE, TV3, TV Africa, Modern Ghana Online.
He arrived in Ghana at about 10:15 am, having flown in directly from Washington D.C.
Moments before his arrival, his fans started dancing and singing at the Airport to the admiration of hundreds of people who were at Terminal 3, the arrival side of the KIA.
It was truly a hero’s welcome for Gambo, a Vodafone Ghana Music Awards winner and international superstar who is signed onto Ghanaian-Liberian comedian, Michael Blackson’s artists management label.
In the US, Gambo toured Los Angeles, New York, Delaware, and Washington D.C., among others.
Gambo arrived in Ghana just a few days after releasing his chart-topping single, ‘Cut Soap’ on which he recruited the services of Nigerian music maestro, Goya Menor.
Cut Soap within just a few days of its release, became the number one song on iTunes Nigeria, lending credence to the fact that Gambo’s songs do instantly become street anthems after their release.
Gambo spent six months touring the US and performing at shows. It was in the US that he recorded Cut Soap, producing its official music there with Goya Menor.

Gambo’s rise to stardom in Ghana and on the international stage has been a result of hard work, discipline, and dedication to his craft. He has over the years worked so hard, producing the majority of the best, world-class music videos out of Ghana. His ‘Drip’ song’s official music video shot on the seventh floor of the Kempinski Hotel was rated top class by music fans, and it got even legendary American rapper Jim Jones really excited about its quality.
Gambo has more musical projects coming up and he remains committed to his agenda of marketing the positive side of Ghana and Africa to the rest of the world in his upcoming music videos.
Addressing the media at the Airport, Gambo called on Ghanaian artists to get out there and promote their songs.
He said it’s imperative for Ghanaian artists to move outside the country and promote their music.
While thanking his fans and the media for supporting his music journey over the years, Gambo entreats his fans and everyone to believe in themselves and never give up on their various livelihood life.
“The media tour has been great, God has been by my side and everybody knows Gambo keeps pushing, Gambo never gives up. I want to tell everybody out there doing something to believe in themselves. Believe in yourself, people say I’m doing a lot but I don’t have a hit song. The Hit song is a blessing from God. One artist will have a hit song today and it might be me tomorrow. Today might be your time and tomorrow might be me Gambo, so let us all believe in ourselves and pray to God. Giving up is never an option”, he emphasised.
