From Friday 25th April to Saturday 3rd May 2014, the Alliance Francaise Accra and its partners present Live in Accra!

For this first edition, you will enjoy 10 days of live music and Jazz but also workshops, visual art exhibitions, movie screenings, conferences...

In the 60s, the Jazz scene in Ghana was bustling, with live music all over the city almost every night. We hope to rekindle a small part of this and bring Jazz back to Accra.
Let’s enjoy Accra together!
