The event, themed ‘The Clash Of The Titans’, will bring together the best selling artistes from Ghana and Nigeria’s music industries on one platform to celebrate African music and also create an interactive atmosphere for music fans and their artistes.
Speaking at the launch, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Empire Entertainment, organisers of the event, Laillah Crystal Banda, said the concept and design of ‘Ghana Meets Naija’ is to promote unity between the two countries through music.
According to her, this year’s event, which is the ninth edition, will be bigger and even more spectacular.
