Afua Asantewaa, a Ghanaian artist, has announced her plans for a second Sing-A-Thon event at Times Square in the USA. The first Sing-A-Thon was held in 2022 and aimed to raise funds for underprivileged children in Ghana by promoting the country’s rich cultural heritage through music.

Asantewaa revealed that this upcoming event will be more ambitious, featuring performances from various artists, including some from the diaspora. She believes that showcasing African culture on such a prominent platform as Times Square will help highlight Ghana's uniqueness and attract attention to its artistry.

The artist emphasized that her goal extends beyond entertainment; she aims to inspire local talents and encourage collaboration among artists from different backgrounds. By uniting these talents on an international stage, Asantewaa hopes to foster appreciation for African music globally.

In preparation for the Sing-A-Thon, Asantewaa is organizing auditions to select performers who resonate with the event's vision. She invites aspiring artists interested in participating to apply and showcase their skills.

Additionally, Asantewaa shared that part of the proceeds from the event will continue supporting educational initiatives for Ghanaian children. She expressed gratitude for the support received during her first attempt and looks forward to building on that momentum.

The date for the Sing-A-Thon has yet to be confirmed, but Asantewaa is optimistic about its success and is determined to make it an unforgettable experience. Through this initiative, she aims not only to entertain but also to contribute positively to society by uplifting those in need through music.
