VOMAFEST comes off in grand style on Sunday, December 8 at the Efua Sutherland Children’s Park in Accra.
The festival, themed Exposing Volta Music Unto The World For Business, is aimed at raising funds to acquire a permanent plot of land for an office building and performance theatre for MUSIGA in the Volta Region and other developmental projects.
At a press briefing to launch the festival last Thursday at the MUSIGA Head Office in Accra, Mr David Mawutor, the chairman of the Volta Regional branch of MUSIGA said the festival would start at 2.00pm through to 11.00pm and will feature musicians and dancers of Voltarian origin.
Some of the musicians scheduled to perform are Edem, Elivava, Kano-Z, Della Hayes and her all-female band, Celestine Donkor, Doris Adenyo, Irene Tsevi and Raps Ziggy.
Others are the Big Shot Band, New Generation Borborbor Group, New Vision Borborbor Group and the Jehovah The Greater Ministry Agbadza Group.
