Her appearance adds star power to an event that has been attracting attention across the continent. This will not be her first time performing in Ghana, a country she has often praised for its rich culture and the warm reception of African artistes.
The African Festival is expected to bring together musicians, dancers, fashion designers and food vendors from across Africa. Activities lined up include live music performances, cultural exhibitions, fashion showcases and traditional food fairs, all aimed at promoting African unity and creativity.
