As part of its Corporate Social Investment initiatives to support the Arts and Creative Industry, Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana) Limited (GTBank), a member of Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO), will hold the second edition of the GTCO Music Concert.
The biggest end-of-year music experience is scheduled for Friday, December 19, at the Accra Sports Stadium, and it seeks to create memorable shared experiences that celebrate the vibrancy of African music and culture.
“It promises to be an unforgettable night of rhythm, creativity, and energy, featuring electrifying performances from top A-list artistes from both Ghana and Nigeria,” a statement from the bank said.
Following the phenomenal success of the maiden edition held in 2021—which attracted thousands of music lovers and received widespread acclaim for its seamless production, star-studded performances, and strong community impact—this year’s event is set to take entertainment to new heights, uniting thousands under one roof for an evening of fun, connection, and African excellence.
Commenting on the upcoming event, the Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO), Mr Segun Agbaje, stated, “At GTCO, Corporate Social Investment is not just a moral obligation; it is a fundamental part of who we are. We believe that true growth is measured not only by financial success but by the positive impact we create in our communities.”
“Over the past years, we have deepened this commitment through initiatives such as our Orange Ribbon Initiative, which drives mental health awareness and support across Africa, and our Food and Drink Festival, which continues to empower small businesses and promote enterprise in the food industry.”
The GTCO Music Concert is free and open to all music enthusiasts. Attendees are encouraged to mark their calendars, come early, and get ready to experience a night of world-class performances, pulsating beats, and unforgettable moments.

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.
