MUSIGA launches SheRhythms Ghana, all-female music festival set for December

The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has launched SheRhythms Ghana, an all-female music festival scheduled for December 3–5, 2025, at the Alliance Française in Accra.

The launch, held last Friday, marks the start of what MUSIGA describes as an annual celebration dedicated to spotlighting and empowering women in the music industry.

MUSIGA President, Bessa Simons, said the festival is not just about performances but also about equipping women with the tools to thrive in the creative space.

“SheRhythms is more than a festival, it’s a movement to celebrate, elevate, and empower women in music,” he noted.

As part of the programme, seminars and workshops will cover areas such as artist management, audio engineering, stage lighting, band direction, and live production.

The initiative builds on MUSIGA’s establishment of a Gender Desk last year to promote female participation in Ghana’s creative sector.

The maiden edition will feature female musicians from Ghana and across the globe, making it a platform of international reach.

Application forms for interested performers will be released in the coming weeks, after which a selection team will curate the final lineup.
