A new music festival is set to hit Ghana this year, with an inaugural 2-day party over Independence holiday weekend to celebrate, music from Ghana, Africa and around the world on March 5 and 6, on Busua Beach.  The ASABAAKO!

The party starts 0n Saturdy, March 5 at the African Rainbow Hotel, with views over the beach and village from the rooftop bar; and continues on Sunday at Busua Beach with the all day, all night Independence beach concert and party (from midday). Ghanaian and UK Festival organisers, Beating Tracks Ltd., claim that this festival is the first of what will be an annual event, growing year-on-year and aiming to become one of Africa’s great international music festivals.

“We want to offer people something different. Ghana has some of the most beautiful outdoor scenery in the world, and ASABAAKO! gives people a good reason to come and experience it, enjoy themselves, meet new people from Ghana and around the world, and party in paradise,” comments Richard Goddard, of Beating Tracks.

Alongside the music there will be a range of beach sports including soccer and volleyball, while the more adventurous can even try surfing and kayaking. There are plenty of tourist activities in the area, from boat trips to jungle treks. Or, just relax by the beach, dip in the warm, clean sea, and enjoy the vibe. Accommodation is limited, so guests are advised to book early.

ASABAAKO! is a brand new event which will grow year-on-year to become a truly international festival. The 2011 event will set the tone, with DJs from Accra, Takoradi and London. Beating Tracks is already planning towards a bigger event in 2012, which will feature live artists from the UK, DJs from Europe and the USA, alongside some of Ghana’s and West Africa’s best musicians.

The winner of the Music for Good award will be revealed at the grand climax of the TGMAs on Saturday, 1st June and presented with a recognition plaque and a cheque of 20,000 Ghana cedis towards their impact project.

The Music for Good award will recognise an artiste who released a song in the year under review and went beyond their music to contribute significantly to a social cause, including but not limited to youth mentorship, health, education, economic empowerment, social development, and environmental initiatives.

The decision to merge the Green Award with the existing Music for Good award was reached to celebrate the wider contributions of musicians to their communities, shifting the sole focus from environmental efforts to the broader spectrum of social impact.

Ing. Patricia Obo-Nai, CEO of Telecel Ghana, the headline sponsor of the TGMAs indicated that supporting the Music for Good award shows the TGMAs commitment to celebrating musicians who use their influence to push for positive change and add value to the lives of people and communities.
