The vibrant fusion of Ghanaian and French musical artistry will take centre stage at the closing event of the Soundscape and Ghana x France Songwriting Camp on February 21, 2025.
Hosted at Impact Hub Accra at 6 PM, this exclusive listening event will showcase the compositions crafted by twelve exceptionally talented songwriters from Ghana and France.
From February 17 to 21, these gifted artistes have come together in a unique cross-cultural collaboration, weaving together diverse influences to create original music. This celebration of storytelling and artistic exchange highlights the power of international partnerships in the music industry and underscores the depth of creative synergy between Ghana and France.
The evening will also mark the culmination of Soundscape, a pioneering initiative dedicated to music publishing. Over the course of the programme, 22 Ghanaian cultural entrepreneurs have engaged in an in-depth journey to protect Ghana’s musical heritage while nurturing the national music industry’s future.
Through a combination of in-person sessions in Accra and online workshops with international and Ghanaian experts, participants gained critical insights into copyright management, synchronization, and music business strategy.
The program also provided one-on-one mentoring, fostering direct connections between Ghanaian and French professionals. As a testament to their dedication, these participants will receive their official diplomas from Impact Hub Accra and Centre national de la musique (CNM) during the event.
Both Soundscape and the Ghana x France Songwriting Camp are integral components of the Support to the Expansion of Ghana Music Industry (SEGMI) project, an initiativeimplemented by Expertise France in partnership with Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Creative Arts Agency and funded by the French development Agency (AFD) and the French Treasury.
This collaborative effort aims to strengthen Ghana’s music copyright environment and foster French-Ghanaian partnerships while elevating the country's global music presence.
This culminating event promises an evening of inspired music, celebration, and recognition of the growing impact of international artistic collaboration.
