Yvonne Chaka Chaka, George Jahraa, Adane Best, and Okyeame Kwame will headline 2024 African Legends Night on October 5.

The 2024 African Legends Night has announced an extraordinary lineup of headliners, including the iconic Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Ghanaian highlife legend George Jahraa, the revered Adane Best, and the versatile hiplife sensation Okyeame Kwame.

This year’s event, organised by Global Media Alliance, will take place on October 5th in the Grand Arena Dome, Accra International Conference Centre.

The African Legends Night has firmly established itself as one of Ghana’s best music events, commemorating Africa’s rich musical legacy by bringing together famous artists who have helped define the continent’s music scene.

Since its beginning, the event has honored Africa’s finest musicians, allowing seasoned performers and new talents to engage with audiences of all ages.

A fantastic lineup of African music icons.

Yvonne Chaka Chaka, the “Princess of Africa,” has captivated audiences all over the world with her soulful voice and compelling lyrics for over 30 years. Yvonne Chaka Chaka, known for singles like “Umqombothi,” “Thank You Mr. DJ,” and “I’m Burning Up,” is a music legend as well as a dedicated champion for social change and humanitarian concerns in Africa. Her performance at African Legends Night is highly anticipated and will undoubtedly be a highlight of the evening.

Yvonne Chaka Chaka will be joined on stage by Ghana’s own Highlife maestro, George Jahraa. George Jahraa is renowned for his contribution to the Highlife genre, a uniquely Ghanaian sound that has impacted other performers across Africa. His famous hits “Ashikele” and “Asor” have lasted the test of time, appealing to both older and younger audiences. George Jahraa’s performance is likely to invoke nostalgia while also demonstrating the lasting attraction of Highlife music.

Adane Best, another star on the list, is a well-known personality in Ghana’s music industry, noted for his distinct style that combines traditional Ga music with contemporary elements.

His impact on the Ga music genre has been substantial, with songs like “Adesa” and “Sisi Mame” cementing his place among the greats. Adani Best’s music is distinguished by dynamic rhythms and stories that cross time and borders.

Okyeame Kwame, one of Ghana’s most dynamic and diverse musicians, will add a twist to the event by performing his distinctive blend of hiplife, highlife, and rap on the African Legends Night stage. Okyeame Kwame has established himself as one of the major talents in contemporary African music, having won multiple honours and released popular songs such as “Woara,” “Faithful,” and “Made in Ghana.”

His performance promises to be a dynamic and energetic presentation of Ghanaian music’s growth, bridging the gap between traditional and modern elements.

Speaking about the upcoming event, Ernest Boateng, CEO of Global Media Alliance, expressed excitement about this year’s lineup: “The African Legends Night has always been about celebrating the best of African music, and this year’s lineup reflects the diversity and richness of our continent’s musical heritage.” We are honoured to welcome George Jahraa, Adane Best, Okyeame Kwame, and Yvonne Chaka Chaka as this year’s keynote speakers. Their music has impacted the lives of millions of people in Africa and beyond, and we are excited to watch them perform live.”
