The Night
A celebration of Highlife & Heritage
Get ready for an unforgettable night of authentic Ghanaian music as Highlife giant Bisa Kdei brings you The Convention — a live celebration of the sound that raised us.
Highlife is not a nostalgia act. It is the spine of Ghanaian popular music, and it keeps moving. The Convention puts the traditional rhythms, the palm-wine guitar lines and the horn arrangements back on a full stage, then runs them through the contemporary sound that made Bisa Kdei a household name from Accra to London.
Join us in celebrating our roots, our culture, and our sound.
