Legendary Ghanaian guitarist and the leader of the Abiza Band, Akablay, will be performing at the 2024 Chale Wote Street Art Festival in Accra.

His performance will take place on Sunday, August 25, 2024 at the Blackstar Square.

The Sabolai Radio Music stage will come alive with electrifying performances from a diverse lineup of funky and alternative artists.

The Chale Wote weekend will get more exciting with varied activities that will keep patrons on their feet for hours.

There will be a Food Court on Saturday, August 24, 2024 that will provide a taste of Ghana as it serves some of Ghana's finest culinary delights.

While patrons are having fun at the Blackstar Square, the various art exhibitions that started from Monday, will still be going on the streets of Osu and at the Christianborg Castle. Afuabe Collective Street artists will be displaying their murals. Some films will also show at the castle.

Chale Wote 2024 explores the history of the place through its origins and an examination of it in relation to its death and the current rebirth of its sacred sciences, long forgotten and buried with the giants. The event will curate a multiplicity of counterhegemonic narratives about this rebirth in their most spectacular form through art and entertainment.

As strong advocates of art education, the organisers are also interested in works that can be tailored to include salons and knowledge-sharing labs with children and/or youth during the festival period.

For the second time, The Multimedia Group is the official media partner for the festival. Through its experienced reporters, the media company will give viewers, listeners and readers of its platforms, comprehensive coverage of everything that happens throughout the period.

The festival will be transmitted on Hitz FM, Joy Prime, and have reports published on myjoyonline.com. There will be special features on all the other media outlets of The Multimedia Group.

Last year, the event started from the Independence Square all the way into the Osu township, where the High Court complex is, down into Independence Square, into the Osu Castle, into the Osu community, all the way down to Oxford Street, and all up to the Osu cemetery traffic light coming towards Accra Sports Stadium, rounding it back into Independence Square.

The story was also performed as a musical theatre piece called ‘Memory Movement Freedom’ by multiple community-based performance, dance troupes and brass band.

Some major activities for last year's edition of the festival were photo exhibitions, street painting, graffiti murals, interactive installations, street boxing, movie screening, processions, design labs, movie screenings, and more.

It is organised by Accra [dot] ALT, in collaboration with Redd Kat Pictures and Chale Wote Street Art Projekt.

The one-week-long festival which started from Monday, August 19, and will end on Sunday, August 25, 2024.
