Global Citizen returns to Ghana
The Global Citizen experience is not new to Ghana. In 2022, the international advocacy organisation fielded a stellar lineup of Ghanaian and foreign artistes for the Global Citizen Festival in Ghana.
This year's Global Citizen experience set to happen in Ghana will be a follow-up to the inaugural Move Afrika concert held in Rwanda with Grammy-nominated rapper, Kendrick Lamar on stage.
According to Global Citizen, Move Afrika is planned to be a five-year tour schedule aimed at pioneering world-class music and live entertainment across the African continent, in an effort to inject jobs and skills training into local economies.
The organisation's CEO, Hugh Evans also said in a new interview that the overarching objective for the continental-wide project is to encourage people to invest in Africa.
Date, performers and venue details are yet to be announced. However, Kendrick Lamar's creative imprint, pgLang will serve as the tour curator for Ghana and other African cities yet to be announced.
