Ghanaian music stars King Paluta and Amerado are set to headline this year’s Afrobeats Summer Jam, scheduled for Friday, July 26, 2024, in New York, USA.
Joining them on stage will be other notable Ghanaian acts like Lasmid and Nana Nyc.
The event will also feature performances from Cameroon’s Big Hookz and American DJ-turned-musician DJ Noris, adding an international flavour to the line-up.
Organised by the Chicago Ghanaian Council, the Afrobeats Summer Jam aims to celebrate Ghanaian music on the global stage, providing a platform for talented Ghanaian musicians to showcase their craft to a diverse and expansive audience.
As reported by graphic.com.gh, Nana Nyc, a member of the organising committee, explained that the event is designed to catapult Ghanaian music onto the international scene and provide a unique opportunity for participating artistes to gain global recognition.
“We are providing a supportive environment for Ghanaian musicians to shine through the Afrobeats Summer Jam platform and equally introduce the richness and diversity of Ghanaian music to a new and enthusiastic audience,” he said.
King Paluta, one of the headlining acts, shared his enthusiasm about performing at the event.
The ‘Makoma’ hitmaker stated that such platforms are crucial for promoting his culture and gaining exposure to larger audiences.
“Getting the platform to perform will cushion me to continue selling my culture to the wider community and also give me exposure to other bigger platforms,” King Paluta stated.
He added, “It’s Ghanaian music to the world and we will prove Ghana has the best music. Our Highlife music is beautiful. I and my other talented stars such as Amerado are going to put Ghana on the map.”
