As part of the Silver Jubilee celebration commemorating the 25th anniversary of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's enstoolment as the 16th Asantehene, Kumasi will host a concert on May 10, 2024.
The event will feature a lineup of Kumasi's prominent musical stars, bringing together the region's talented musicians for a memorable performance.
“A mega musical concert will be held in Kumasi. We will see our great Asante musicians perform,” a brochure of the line-up states.
The festivities, which commenced on February 6, 2024, with a re-enactment of the Sagrenti War, are set to conclude on November 24, 2024.
Among the array of activities planned for this year-long celebration are a religious feast for traditional priests in Asanteman, the 75th birthday celebration of Otumfuo, a Grand Silver Jubilee Durbar, a clean-up exercise, a feast for other ethnic groups residing in Asanteman, a non-denominational thanksgiving service, and a public lecture commemorating the 100th anniversary of Nana Agyeman Prempeh I's return from Seychelles Island.
The Asante Kingdom, renowned for its rich culture and tradition, boasts an abundance of creative talents, including some of the country's greatest musicians. Notable figures such as Agya Koo Nimo, Akwasi Ampofo Adjei, Amakye Dede, Okyeame Kwame, Quophi Okyeame, Kwaku Gyasi, King Paluta, Diana Asamoah, Diana Hamilton, Flowking Stone, and Amerado hail from Asanteman.
Although the specific lineup for the concert is yet to be announced, the celebration of Otumfuo's 25th anniversary is expected to showcase the vibrant Asante culture and attract tourists from across the globe.
