Adamfopa Talent Quest Show launched
The much-anticipated Adamfopa Talent Quest Show, which is aimed at uncovering the hidden creative talents of young Ghanaians and Africans living in the diaspora, was successfully launched last week in Paris, France.
Abrewa Nana, also known as Dorcas Opoku-Dakwa, gave a live performance during the launch.
At the launch held at the Voco Paris Intercontinental Hotel in Paris last week, Nana Obokese Ampah, Apagyahen of Asebu Traditional Area, was unveiled as the Cultural Ambassador of the Adamfopa Talent Quest Show.
Several dignitaries in attendance at the ceremony urged the organisers to take the show on a global scale.
The talent search was created by Adamfopa Media Paris’s operators, Groupe Adamfopa Services, based in Paris, with the goal of identifying, supporting, and advancing talented African and Ghanaian artistes residing in Europe.
Yaw Asamoah Bannor, General Manager of Adamfopa Media, stressed during the launch that the goal of the reality show is to reconnect African-American youth living in Europe with their culture, customs, and way of life.
This includes helping them to develop and promote their African heritage, particularly those who were born and raised in the diaspora.
He claims that the competitors will display their skills in acting, dancing, poetry, music, and other artistic or entertainment categories during the event.
The primary goal of the competition, according to Yaw Asamoah Bannor, better known by his stage name Wofadinho, is to provide gifted young African and Ghanaian youngsters in Europe a greater platform.
Although happy with the attendance, the general manager of Adamfopa expressed sadness that some brand ambassadors and guests, such as Jupitar, Samini, Pinky Pecks, and the dancing duet Allo Danny and Serwaa, were unable to attend because of complications with their visa appointments.
According to Wofadinho, the winner of the competition will get the chance to collaborate on a song with some well-known Ghanaian artistes and perform alongside a foreign act at the event’s conclusion.
He continued by saying that interested parties can register and choose their categories on the Adamfopa Media website.
The Adamfopa Talent Quest Show is organised by Groupe Adamfopa Paris in partnership with RAM Media Concepts and is sponsored by Tap Tap Send and Accord Sante.
Organisers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards 27 have announced “A Touch of Glitter as the official red carpet theme for this year’s ceremony.’’
In a statement issued on Thursday, April 16, Charterhouse indicated that the theme is designed to promote elegance and creativity while maintaining a refined fashion standard.
According to the organisers, the red carpet remains one of the most anticipated moments of the awards, offering artistes, celebrities, and guests the opportunity to express themselves through fashion while celebrating Ghanaian identity.
They explained that for this year’s edition, attendees are encouraged to include subtle elements of shimmer in their outfits.
This, they noted, can be done through fabric choices, embellishments, or accessories, with the focus on elegance rather than excess.
The statement added that the red carpet event will take place on May 9, 2026, at 7:06 pm, ahead of the main awards ceremony.
Head of Public Events and Communications at Charterhouse, Robert Klah, noted that the theme invites guests to explore creativity with sophistication while maintaining a polished appearance.
The organisers further assured that the event will continue to deliver a blend of music, fashion, and culture, making it a key highlight on Ghana’s entertainment calendar.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
