Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The termination of the Afrochella music and culture event in Ghana has been announced by the festival’s organizers.
“Afrochella is a celebration of Africa’s diverse culture and the vibrant work of African creatives & entrepreneurs. African art, cuisine, music, and food are popular culture”.
Although the Afrochella festival has been taking place in Ghana for five years, organizers have announced the festival’s conclusion.
At the very end of the two-day festival, in the wee hours of Friday morning, the devastating announcement was given.
“This is the last Afrochella,” said co-founder Abdul Abdullah to the gathered crowd who attended the musical concert at El Wak sports stadium.
A lot of patrons reacted to the sad news. “I couldn’t believe it when they said Afrochella is over,” said one woman.
“I’m shocked – this is what a lot of us in the diaspora look forward to at the end of the year,” said one African American man.
“There was something special about Afrochella that meant so much to African Americans like me – I think it’s gonna be hard to fill the void that they’ll leave,” said another.
