HOW 'MUSIC MAKERS'
SAVED THE DAY IN LIBERIA
Sierra Leone"s Legendary Sound System (Music Makers) rescued Liberia after a MASSIVE
NO-SHOW disappointment from a Ghanian sound company that would have caused major
embarrassment to one of the top local event producers in the country.
Within just 24 hours of receiving the distress call and with NO prior notice about the show,
Music Makers departed Freetown for Liberia and traveled throughout the night to save the
day.
The Music Makers' team led by the manager and senior engineer Patrick Tomagbandi
mesmerized the crowd with stage effects and sound system that had the audience
screaming with excitement.
The promoters were astonished that Sierra Leone is capable of producing such a remarkable
sound production and with thee professionalism to export such high grade equipment and
personnel at such short notice.
The CEO of Music Makers, Alhassan Kamara is very proud to know that the investment he
made into rebranding Sierra Leone Entertainment continues to bring such impressive
accolades to the country.
Furthermore, he is super happy to know that all the training and knowledge he has imparted
into local youths, who are now event managers, sound engineers, stage and lighting
experts, continues to pay dividends.
Finally, as an MBA graduate, he is happy to show the world that Sierra Leoneans can
establish businesses and business systems that work effectively, as Music Makers continue
to deliver top notch sound production at home and abroad, even though he is abroad
pursuing other business opportunities.

I couldn't imagine life without you; the sun would
never rise without you by my side. I'm glad that I
get to spend every Valentine's Day with you.

You smile, and the sun comes out. This is why I
come to you in my moments of joy and sorrow.
You are one amazing person, and I am so lucky to
be your Valentine forever.
# 0653
What if there were no decisions to be made, but
only moments to be lived? I would still live my
moments with you.
# 0652
Everything you do captivates me. Everything
about you amazes me. Everything you are is a
blessing.

Love is one word and everything in between.
Love is a fairytale come true. Because I found
Love when I found You. Happy Valentine's Day
to My Love

I will never become weary of adoring you. I
appreciate the manner in which you make me go
gaga for you all the more every day. Upbeat
Valentine's Day!
