KiDi and Kuami Eugene, currently on Lynx Entertainment record label, are among the finest afrobeat artistes in Ghana who are doing well in the local music scene. They are credited with a number of danceable hit songs.
The two acts have quickly established themselves and have found places in the highlife and afrobeats genres.
In what is billed to be a historic performance, the two acts are expected to deliver nonstop high-energy performances that would see them entertain music fans with all the numerous hit songs.
Details of which artiste(s) would be performing alongside KiDi and Kuami Eugene would be made known soon.
The event will serve as a platform for over 10,000 Ghanaians and other African nationals to network and sell Ghana’s music to the rest of the world.
KiDi, who is currently Vodafone Ghana Music Awards’ Afrobeats Artiste of the Year has released hugely successful singles such as ‘Odo’, ‘Say Cheese’, ‘Enjoyment’ and the 2021 smash hit ‘Touch It’ which went viral on TikTok and spent several weeks on the UK Afrobeats Chart and the Billboard Global Triller Chart.

He established himself as a star in Ghana when he released another chart-topper titled ‘Odo’ in July 2017 with the remix with Nigerian artistes Davido and Mayorkun in December 2017, and ‘Adiepena’ in April 2018.
