The International AmoFest 2026

The International AmoFest serves as a vital bridge between West African traditions and the global stage, spearheaded by the vision of trumpeter Berima Amo. By blending highlife and ethnojazz with contemporary theatre, the festival creates a unique "global music" experience that honors Ghanaian heritage while welcoming international collaboration. Its commitment to live instrumentation and authentic sound makes it a standout event for the African diaspora and music enthusiasts looking for a deep, cultural connection in Accra.

Beyond the main stage, the festival prioritizes the future of African music through its dedicated educational outreach and mentorship programs. Events like the High School Music Workshop at the Arts Centre allow seasoned professionals to train the next generation of talent, ensuring that the legacy of highlife remains vibrant and evolving. This combination of world-class performance and community building establishes AmoFest as more than just a concert, but a growing movement for cultural preservation and creative exchange.
