Wa, Ghana – The vibrant city of Wa is gearing up for a night of unparalleled reggae music, as the much-anticipated Kuchoko Roots Festival 2025 prepares to take center stage at the B.K. Adama Sports Stadium. On Saturday, March 15, 2025, from 7 PM until dawn, fans will witness an extraordinary blend of Ghanaian and Jamaican reggae culture.
This year’s festival marks a historic moment as it welcomes Culture, featuring Kenyatta Hill, the son of the late reggae icon Joseph Hill, for their first performance in Ghana. Alongside them, the legendary George Nooks will grace the stage, promising a spiritual fusion of reggae styles that will resonate through the night.
Ghana’s own Blakk Rasta, known as the Rootsmaster, will headline with his Herbalist Band, supported by a roster of local talents including Samson B, Judah I, Abu Sadic, and Ras Preachaman, all backed by the dynamic Police Band. This ensemble of artists promises to deliver an authentic Kuchoko experience, celebrating the African reggae spirit in its purest form.
The festival isn’t just about music; it’s a cultural celebration. Attendees will enjoy free Koko, Kulikuli, and Koose, traditional Ghanaian snacks known for their comforting flavors, perfect for breaking the fast and immersing oneself in the Kuchoko spirit.
Ticket prices are set at 50 GHC for regular entry and 100 GHC for VIP, with advance tickets flying off the virtual shelves on Kuchoko.com and akwaaba.app. For those looking to secure their spot at this reggae extravaganza, further information is available by calling 0244499461.
The event is powered by Blakk Empire Media, with support from media partners including Home Radio, Sungmaali, Radio Mak, Radio Waa, Radio Upper West, and Prekese Media, ensuring that the festival’s message of unity and cultural appreciation reaches every corner of the region.
As the sun sets on March 15, Wa will transform into a haven for reggae lovers, where the rhythm of Kuchoko will echo until “satan falls flat,” as humorously put by the festival’s organizers. This year’s Kuchoko Roots Festival isn’t just an event; it’s a testament to the enduring legacy of reggae music and its power to unite people across continents.
