Accra is about to make history as it welcomes the first-ever African edition of African Music Week (AMW) on December 27th. If you thought Ghana’s creative scene was already thriving, wait till you see how AMW takes things to the next level. Held at the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Conference Room, this epic event is more than just a festival—it’s a sneak peek at the future of African music and culture.
So, what’s the big deal? Well, AMW Accra isn’t just a standalone event; it’s setting the stage for the massive 2025 African Music Week Festival. Think of it as the first spark of a movement that’s going to electrify the global music scene, with Ghana at its core. Themed “Bridging Continents Through Music and Culture”, it’s a perfect fit for Accra, a city fully alive with creativity, rhythm, and that unique Ghanaian vibe.
But this isn’t just about music; it’s about making waves. AMW Accra will bring together artists, music pros, cultural enthusiasts, and policymakers to have real conversations about where African music is headed. Picture this—a panel diving into music tourism in Ghana. Speakers like Ruddy Kwakye, Bola Ray, and Khadijat El-Alawa, sharing their insider knowledge.
Now, let’s talk about talent. Sure, you’ll catch big names like Trigmatic and Feli Nuna lighting up the stage. But in the coming year, we hope to see emerging stars getting a slot at the African Music Week. Stars like Addi Self, Ghana’s dancehall sensation whose stagecraft is fire, and Bob Blaq whose Afrobeat-meets-Highlife vibe is pure magic. These are shining examples of artists whose crafts have signalled strong promises of flying the flag of Ghana high on the global music scene in the nearest future. Therefore, giving them a global platform means strengthening Ghana’s position as a musical force beyond Africa.
Ghana has become a magnet for culture lovers from around the world. From the vibrant festivals to its creative industries, there’s an undeniable energy that’s hard to resist. AMW isn’t just hopping on the bandwagon—it’s amplifying Ghana’s voice as a global cultural hub.
