A talent show aimed at encouraging, motivating, and rewarding the creativity of young Ghanaian artists in France and other parts of Europe will be launched in Paris on Saturday, July 6, 2024.
Named the Adamfopa Talent Quest Show, the inaugural edition of the event seeks to create career opportunities for Ghanaian youths born or residing in France and other parts of Europe.
The show aims to enhance the creative skills of young artists passionate about arts, entertainment, singing, rapping, acting, and other creative talents, using their abilities to promote Ghanaian culture, traditions, music, and values abroad.
General Manager of Adamfopa Media in Paris, Yaw Bannor Asamoah, said the main objective of this initiative is to help young upcoming artists to appreciate their talents in the creative space.
He said many Ghanaians or Africans born abroad have creative values which need to be harnessed at a tender age to direct such talents in promoting the cultural and traditional values of the continent.
Given this, Mr. Asamoah hinted that the Adamfopa Talent Quest Show seeks to act as a conduit for connecting Ghanaian artists in Ghana and their counterparts abroad.
According to him, the Adamfopa Talent Quest Show will become the preferred platform to mentor young Ghanaian and African artists in Europe, adding that the show would help unearth hidden skills and talents of young Africans in Europe.
Winners of the maiden edition would be mentored by A-list artistes, accomplished filmmakers and other high-profile celebrities in their various fields of career.
