The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) is gearing up for an exciting concert on March 6th, Ghana’s Independence Day, dedicated to spotlighting the skills of up-and-coming artists.
This event promises to be a lively celebration of Ghanaian music, offering a significant platform for emerging talents to shine.
Interim president of MUSIGA, Bessa Simons, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming concert during an interview on JOY FM.
He emphasised the importance of providing a stage for aspiring musicians who often lack exposure and recognition.
Simons revealed that MUSIGA is collaborating with the Akwaaba Festival for the event, set to take place at the forecourt of the National Theatre.
“We are creating a show with lights and a Facebook presence for these young, up-and-coming musicians who don’t normally have access to big stages. This is an opportunity for them to showcase their talents,” Simons stated.
MUSIGA’s commitment to nurturing young talent and supporting the growth of Ghana’s music industry was highlighted by Simons.
He encouraged managers and the corporate world to attend the concert, asserting, “We are inviting the managers, corporate world, just look at them and see if you can do business with them because these are the future we have.”
In addition to the concert, MUSIGA has organised a music and tourism workshop, along with a health screening for musicians, on March 5th, 2024, at the Accra Tourist Information Centre.
The union is also set to launch the “Let’s Play Ghana Music” project on March 11, 2024, aimed at reigniting the public’s passion for Ghanaian music.
Furthermore, another concert at the Gold Coast Restaurant on March 30, 2024, will focus on promoting highlife music.
