Diaspora fans urge Kojo Antwi to stage annual international concerts

Fans of the renowned Ghanaian musician Kojo Antwi, residing in various parts of the world, are advocating for the organization of annual concerts in major cities across the diaspora. This demand emerged following his recent live performance in London, held on September 5, 2026, alongside Ivorian music star Meiway at the Dominion Centre.

The concert drew a crowd of music aficionados who appreciated the performances of these celebrated African artists. Following the event, TikToker Ms Aba commended the performance, suggesting that Ghanaians and other African music enthusiasts living outside their home countries deserve more opportunities to witness Kojo Antwi's live shows.

She proposed that the "Maestro" embark on an annual tour of the diaspora, focusing on countries and cities with substantial African populations, particularly the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany. Ms Aba argued that regular international concerts would not only allow fans abroad to connect with Kojo Antwi's music and legacy but also contribute to the global promotion of Ghanaian music and culture.

The London concert was described by Ms Aba as an impressive experience, and she had watched the performance footage multiple times. She expressed disappointment at not attending the event in person and urged for similar shows to be held in other parts of the diaspora. Kojo Antwi, one of Ghana's most celebrated musicians, has maintained a successful career spanning several decades, with his music still drawing audiences both locally and internationally.

The musician has also documented his musical journey in his memoir, "Mr Music Man: The Journey." The calls for regular diaspora concerts demonstrate the enduring popularity of Ghanaian highlife and the desire among music lovers abroad to experience performances from some of the country's iconic artists.
