Get ready to turn up the volume on your Fridays, because Akwaaba Magic is bringing back the ultimate musical showdown! By popular demand, Play By Ear returns for its electrifying second season, hosted by the incomparable Kojo Manuel.
Premiering Friday, 3 October at 9:00pm on DStv Channel 150 and GOtv Channel 102, this isn't just a game show—it's a high-energy celebration of Ghanaian music, trivia, and that unbeatable spirit of improvisation.
For those who caught Season 1, you know the drill: Play By Ear transforms contestants into instant music bosses, challenging them to "play by ear" through a whirlwind of tunes and brain-teasing questions.
Just like the first season, teams of two will battle it out in three pulse-pounding rounds, racking up points by grooving to rhythms, decoding trivia, and unleashing their inner performers. From highlife to afrobeats and everything in between, it's a love letter to Ghana's rich musical heritage.
The winning team walks away with cash prizes, bragging rights. This Season 2, we're cranking it up with tougher challenges, surprise guest appearances from your favorite Ghanaian stars (with some even coming from Akwaaba Magic shows), and even more crowd-pleasing twists that will have you singing along from your couch. Play By Ear is more than trivia—it's a vibe.
Hosted by Kojo Manuel, the king of witty banter and infectious energy, the show captures the essence of that timeless English idiom: trusting your instincts and letting the music lead. Whether you're a die-hard Shatta fan, a hiplife historian, or just love a good laugh over a missed lyric, this new season promises non-stop fun, family-friendly excitement, and moments that'll go viral on social media.
The new season of Play By Ear comes with even more flair and flavor. Season 2 is all about pushing boundaries; so expect epic battles, hilarious mishaps, and music that hits you right in the soul!
