Under the festival’s theme, “Political Change and Crisis: What Can Culture Do?”, Ghana’s performances provided a compelling answer: culture connects, communicates, and drives growth.

A Fusion of Sound and Movement

The musical highlight came from Afrobeats,reggae, and highlife fusion artist Byno Ayoni, performing with the Side Contemporary group. Their high-energy set masterfully wove classic highlife melodies with modern rhythms and traditional Agbadza beats, tracing the vibrant evolution of Ghana’s sound.

This musical narrative was complemented by dynamic dance troupes, who performed the eloquent Adowa and powerfully rhythmic Agbadza dances. Each performance served as a visual narrative, communicating deep-rooted stories, values, and community identity.

Art, Innovation, and Enterprise

Beyond the stage, Ghana’s artistic innovation was on full display. A dedicated visual artist presented mixed-media installations exploring themes of leadership and resilience, merging traditional symbols with contemporary techniques.

Another team demonstrated the role of technology in preservation through digital storytelling and interactive exhibits, showcasing new methods for sharing African culture globally.

The Ghana Stand emerged as a central hub, drawing visitors with its array of high-quality, creatively designed made-in-Ghana products, from clothing to accessories. The stand was celebrated as both a commercial success and a testament to strong national brand identity.

A Model for the Region

Festival officials lauded Ghana for delivering “a complete cultural experience.” By integrating traditional artistry with contemporary creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, Ghana demonstrated how culture can be a dynamic force for unity, dialogue, and economic growth across West Africa.

ECOfest 2025, dedicated to fostering regional unity and supporting creative industries, found a fitting finale in Ghana’s multifaceted celebration of its cultural past, present, and future.
