The evening will feature several unique performances, including a traditional African concert with both drums and a highlife band, giving a solid taste of Ghanaian music.

Additionally, musicians and students from the African Footprint Foundation camp will perform, and there will be plenty of opportunities to experience African dance, and perhaps even join in the simple but powerful moves that will warm you up and give you the feeling of African dance joy to intense rhythms.

AFRICAN FOOTPRINT FOUNDATION

Focusing on music, dance, art, storytelling, public education, and charity, AFF aims to bridge cultures and people, enhance quality of life for individuals, provide insight into African culture, and support the underprivileged.

We organize intercultural activities that involve people, mobilizing African, Danish, and other ethnic musicians, dancers, and artists in Denmark, as well as inviting musicians, dancers, and artists from Ghana and Africa in general.

The concert supports the African Footprint Foundation’s work to improve the quality of life for those affected by Parkinson's disease in Ghana. You can support the cause by purchasing merchandise during the evening.
