The Ashanti Fest: A Celebration of Music and Entertainment
Music lovers and young people alike are gearing up for an exciting evening of musical performances from renowned music icons at the Ashanti Fest. This festival, held to mark the celebration of Easter in the Ashanti Region, promises to be a memorable event filled with top-notch entertainment.
Scheduled to take place on Saturday evening, the event will feature performances from a lineup of talented musicians and musical groups. Artists such as Y-Pee, Mass Mello, Bosoma, Strongman, Seven Kiss, and Allo Dancers are set to grace the stage and entertain their fans with captivating music.
Fans can also look forward to seeing members of the popular Asakaa Boys group, including YGA O’Kenneth and Beetztrap, who are loved by the youth of the city. Known for their energetic dance moves and exciting artistry, these artists are sure to keep the crowd on their feet throughout the night.
Sponsored by MTN, the concert is part of the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council’s Ashanti Festival, which aims to bring more excitement to residents during the Easter holidays. The festival has already seen a series of events, including a boxing night, football games, and an electrifying jama competition, all of which have been well-received by attendees.
As preparations are underway at the Rattray Park, the venue for the musical concert, excitement is building for the large numbers expected to attend on Saturday. According to the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the idea for the festival was born out of a request from youth at a clean-up exercise, highlighting the community-driven nature of the event.
The Ashanti Fest seeks to showcase the region’s diverse sectors and promote inter-sectorial support among stakeholders. With a focus on celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Ashanti Region, the festival promises to be a celebration of music, art, and community spirit.
As the festival enters its final lap, attendees can look forward to more entertainment activities and opportunities to engage with the local community. From boxing nights to medical screenings for inmates at the Kumasi Central Prisons, the festival has already made a positive impact on the region.
With a blood donation exercise sponsored by MTN and a range of other community initiatives, the Ashanti Fest is not just a music event but a platform for fostering unity and support within the Ashanti community. As the festival continues to grow in popularity, it is clear that it has become a highlight of the Easter celebrations in the region.
