Ghana and Brazil have renewed their commitment to deepening cultural ties through the upcoming Afro-Brazilian Ghanaian Festival, scheduled for December 12–13 at the Gold Coast Bar and Grill in Accra.
During a preparatory meeting at the Black Star Experience Secretariat, Rex Omar, CEO of the Secretariat, and Fuseini Mohammed, CEO of Big Twins Africa, engaged with Alexandre Souto, Minister-Counsellor at the Brazilian Embassy in Ghana. They were joined by representatives from Big Twins Africa Music and Dance Ensemble, the festival’s lead Ghanaian organizers.
The discussions focused on strategic partnerships, selecting artists aligned with the festival’s vision and budget, and ensuring performances capture the rich cultural essence of the event.
This year’s festival, themed “Bridging Rhythms, Cultures, and Spirits,” will showcase traditional and contemporary music and dance, a cultural symposium, art and food exhibitions, and a joint concert celebrating the shared heritage of Ghana and Brazil.
