The festival will kick off on the 2nd of January with the Nation Building Day, an event to encourage the diaspora community to give back to society. On this day, volunteers will visit the Akosombo School, a school co-founded by This is New Africa and Wood World Mission Charity to interact with pupils and clean and paint the school. 

The New Africa Nation Conference will be held on 3rd January at the Accra International Conference Center with a series of discussions and talks led by top thought leaders from the African continent including Keynote speaker H.E.

“I am excited to launch the TINA Festival because it will be the place where people come to experience genuine Afrobeats culture and lifestyle that comes with the music as well as serve as a platform for them to come back home, experience the rich Ghanaian culture and share their own stories.

We envision TINA Festival becoming the global home for the African sound of Afrobeat like the Glastonbury Festival is the home to Rock music,” shares Fuse ODG, an Afrobeats pioneer and Grammy Award winner who has been committed to using his music and influence to re-educate how Africa is perceived in the world.
