Tonight Straight outta Ghana: Coz Ov Moni screens at Midtown Arts Cinema
Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 2:03 PM
Hiplife, a mix of Ghanaian (West Africa) highlife and hip-hop, is the basis for the musical film Coz Ov Moni, starring the FOKN Bois, which screens tonight at Landmark.
Call for price. 6:30 p.m.-9 p.m. Midtown Arts Cinema, 931 Monroe Dr. 404-879-0408. www.cozovmoni.com.
Peep the synopsis below the jump:
On a normal morning in Gbese, Accra. The FOKN Bois wake up and plan to go clubbing with some lady friends after chasing an evasive debtor for their money. Little do they know that their free-spirited and seemingly conceited attitude will make them a few enemies as the day progresses. How will this day end for the FOKN Bois? Do they deserve what awaits them at the end of it all?Cameos by a host of artists including Reggie Rockstone, the godfather and original maestro of Hiplife, and Samini, the MTV & MOBO award winner, as well as rising stars like Mutombo & Macho Rapper make this film a must see. Pidgen is the de facto language used whenever West Africans congregate as it transcends language barriers. It is sometimes expressed as Broken English (former English colonies) or Creole (former French colonies) across the Globe.
Produced by Panji Anoff & the FOKN Bois. Written by the FOKN Bois. Directed by King Luu. Running time: 43 minutes approx.

I missed the screening, but I was able to get a screener copy of the DVD. Thanks for posting this, Rodney!

Yeah, I missed it too. Gotta give cred to Joeff, though (CL photo ed.). He bumped into the dudes in L5P and said we had to post. Sounds like it's bumpin. Hell, I want the soundtrack.
