E-Flex GH with some dancers at theopening ceremony of the 13th African Games
One of the highlights of the opening ceremony of the 13th African Games was the spectacular opening ceremony which saw the display of Ghanaian culture and tradition through an outstanding piece of choreography.
It brought together 600 dancers, most of who for the first time, were exposed to an international event and tasked to tell the Ghanaian story through dance.
The bigger task however was on the shoulders of the lead choreographers or trainers who must ensure that their dancers understood and expressed the story in the best possible way.
The team of choreography trainers were from Russia, Dubai, Brazil and Italy with Michael Sarpong known in showbiz as E-Flex GH, the only Ghanaian on the team.
The dance educator and choreographer who recruited the dancers and with support from the other nationals went through weeks of training to produce a masterpiece at the opening ceremony.
Speaking to the Spectator Agoro, E-Flex GH indicated that, it was the largest group of artistes he had to work with for a choreography and delighted they delivered to put Ghana on the global stage.
He said, “It was a dream come true for me as I always wanted to command an international crowd of over 200 people and the African Games gave me over 500 people.”
“We made history and everyone was happy. We managed to exhibit the culture and tradition of our people in the Ashanti Region, Volta Region, Northern Region and the Greater Accra Region through dance, which was exceptional,” he stated.
He explained that, from the showcase of Ashanti and Volta region through the Adowa dance and kente, through the Dambai Takai dance of the people of the northern region and the Agbeko and Adjogbo dance of the Volta region among others, they showcased Ghana to the entire continent and the world at large.
“We also formed an umbrella to portray royalty and speak about unity and togetherness. It is also the best for the dancers in terms of performance and remuneration,” he stated.
E-Flex Gh who had been dancing professionally for a decade and toured Europe and other countries around the world to teach African dance said, he was looking forward to the closing ceremony this weekend where they would put up another exceptional performance.
In a landmark move to bridge the creative economies of Francophone and Anglophone Africa, the Republic of Congo has initiated a creative collaboration with Ghana.
The partnership was aimed at promoting Pan-African integration through film, culture, and shared storytelling.
Madam Claudia Yoka, a renowned filmmaker and Presidential Technical Advisor from the Republic of Congo led a delegation that included Ms. Monie Lek, a Congolese actress and Mr. Dymo Sow, a Francophone filmmaker for the event. 
The visit was facilitated and supported by the African Chamber of Content Producers (ACCP), which has been at the forefront of continental creative integration through initiatives such as the Africa Monologue Challenge and the Africa Image Ambassador Programme.
During her stay, Madam Yoka held high-level meetings with the Chief Executive Officer of the National Film Authority of Ghana, Madam Kafui Danku, as well as other key creative industry stakeholders, including veteran filmmaker Mr. Roger Quartey and award-winning filmmaker Madam Juliet Asante.
Madam Claudia Yoka revealed why the Republic of Congo turned its attention to Ghana, citing Ghana’s historic role in the development of Nigeria’s film industry as a key factor.
Ghanaian creatives, technicians, and institutions were instrumental in the early growth of Nollywood, and Congo now seeks to replicate that transformative impact.
“Ghana has proven that it knows how to build film industries. We have seen what Ghana did with Nigeria. Now we want Ghana to do the same with the Republic of Congo,” Madam Yoka said.
Madam Kafui Danku, CEO of the National Film Authority, expressed the readiness of the NFA and the Government of Ghana to facilitate any policy framework needed to ensure the success of the collaboration.
She noted that Ghana was committed to becoming a hub for continental creative partnerships and that the government would remove bureaucratic hurdles to enable seamless co-productions between Ghana and the Republic of Congo. -GNA
Ghanaian singer Enam showcases her command of traditional music and spiritual storytelling in ‘Modzi’, the latest visual installment from her ‘Afro Spiritual’ catalogue.
Before the official music video was released, Enam issued a short film that portrays her unwavering devotion to her sanctified faith, even as dark forces attempt to derail her destiny.
Shot by Marine World Studios and directed by Nani Sage, the film serves as a visual and sonic meditation on purpose, protection and spiritual alignment.
Rooted in African ancestral traditions, it captures a moment of transition, where preparation ends and calling begins.
It tells a story of walking a path believed to have been written long before.
The rising artiste draws heavily from the Yeweh shrine traditions of the Volta Region, a heritage that forms the backbone of her self-defined genre, ‘Afro Spiritual’.
The new ‘Modzi’ project, African sounds and dance‑ready rhythms, since its debut has been praised as one of the most thoughtfully curated releases in the country’s contemporary music landscape.
In the newly released Modzi video, Enam is seen riding a canoe along the river while participating in symbolic traditional rites in the forest.
The music video highlights striking images of Anloga culture, heritage monuments and communal rituals, positioning it as a potential contender for video of the year.
The new single is available on major digital music platforms, and the video is available on YouTube.
