Afrochella 2021: Dec 26th–Jan 4th, 2021 Accra, Ghana By Jade Robinson, TravelNoire

A

frochella (www.historicalafrica.org) is the continent’s answer to Coachella. Taking over El Wak Stadium in Accra for the last three years, the festival is a true celebration of African culture across the diaspora. Besides musical line-ups with heavy-hitter Afrobeat artists like Wande Coal, the festival is a true mashup of Blackness — Ghana to the UK and everywhere in between. From art installations to community giveback sessions, the festival has become an end of year celebration for many. Plan to participate by seeking out your local tour planners and by visiting the Historical Africa website regularly along with the other Afrochella associated organizations and organizers. ► Historial Africa Cultural Center - www. historicalafrica.org ► Merch Foundation - https://afrochella.com.
