The El-Wak Sports Stadium in Accra, Ghana, has been fitted out to host different artists from across Africa on one stage, and Accra will come alive with music, rhythmic dances, African food, among other attractions. The festival seeks to express Africa’s rich diversity profoundly through music, fashion, cuisine, and artistic expression on which the continent’s identities are built.

According to Afrochella Co-founder and CEO, Abdul Karim Abdullah, music, arts, fashion, and cuisine are simple connectors that many Africans care about deeply. The festival officially started with the Afrochella Expo and Music Museum, which had a series of panel discussions with a focus on the future of African Music and its emerging markets, among other topical issues on culture.

The two-day concert will have renowned music artists such as Burna Boy and Stonebwoy as headliners, with Fireboy DML, AyraStarr, King Promise, Medikal, Kofi Kinaata, Kwesi Arthur, Kwami Eugene, Gyakie, and Elaine Tobi expected to perform on the first day of the concert. The second day will feature Fally Ipupa, Asake, Shatta Wale, Pheelz, Kidi, Albi-X, Young Stunna, and Daliwonga.

The festival will also feature some of Ghana’s hiplife legends, including Mzbell, Kwakese, Praye, Tinny, and Tic Tac, taking patrons back in time with throwback hiplife records.

Culture Management Group, the parent company of Afrochella, has announced a ground-breaking partnership with Ronor Motors, a Ghanaian-owned automobile company, which will provide a dedicated fleet of luxury cars for the Afrochella Festival.
