MUSIGA to mark 50th anniversary celebration with an all-women music festival

The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has unveiled plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025, commemorating five decades of championing the rights of musicians and promoting Ghanaian music.

At a launch held on November 7, 2024, at the Accra Tourist Information Centre, MUSIGA President Bessa Simons introduced an array of events planned for this Golden Jubilee year.

The celebrations will feature concerts with local and international acts, insightful lectures, symposiums, a grand gala dinner, and more. A highlight of the festivities will be an all-women music festival, dedicated to showcasing female artists from across the globe.

Simons noted that international artists will be self-funded, with embassies helping to promote the event and draw talent from around the world.

The anniversary will include both indoor and outdoor events, church services, and potentially a special performance by international gospel artists like Cece Winans, fostering cross-cultural collaboration and artistic exchange.

“So we are inviting female musicians from all over the world, and it is self-sponsored if you are coming from outside. All the embassies will publish it, so we are expecting women to come to Ghana and then they will mount the stage.

There will be outdoor events, indoor events, church programmes, and we’re considering bringing Cece Winans and other artists to collaborate with our own, so that at the end of next year, there will be harmony between us and artists from all over the world,” MUSIGA President Bessa Simons said.
