Fiesta launches One Ghana Concert to unify the country
Fiesta, a digital television channel, which
promotes 100% Ghanaian music, lunched a concert titled "One Ghana" which is aimed at unifying Ghanaians through music.
The concert which is the innovation of Ohene
Media, is scheduled for December 8, and is expected to bring together Ghanaians
from all the ten regions to celebrate the peace Ghana had enjoyed during and
after the Supreme Court verdict.
Speaking at the launch, Abraham Ohene Djan,
CEO of Ohene media (OM), operators of Fiesta, explained that the "One
Ghana" is a free open-air concert, which would be organized
annually.
According to him, this year's concert will
focus on using music "as a unifying tool for bringing Ghanaians together
to celebrate peace and also encourage political harmony.""We have realized that music and
entertainment is one of the key elements that brings us together irrespective
of our political affiliations or tribal differences and with this in mind our
aim is to strengthen peace and unity the country through music. Though it's a
free to attend concert, our target is the youth since there are the people who
are used in spearheading violence and disturbances," he noted.Additionally, Mr. Ohene Djan noted that
already, a special invitation has been extended to the minister of Tourism,
Culture and Creative Arts, Mrs. Elizabeth Ofosu Adjare to come on board.He said special invitations would also be
sent to the leaders of the various political parties, the Musicians Union of
Ghana, the National Peace Council, the Office of the Chief Imam and other
noticeable groups as well.Production Manager for Ohene Media,
Isaac Martey, on his part pointed out that subsequent editions of the concert
would be held in other regions as well.He therefore called on all Ghanaians
especially the youth and corporate institutions to support the "One
Ghana" concert."We see the youth as the future leaders
and so it is important for them to come on board to support this initiative, we
also see peace as a key catalyst to development," he intimated.
