Ms Kim Poole, an American artist and founder of SHEROES Sisterhood, has expressed optimism about the prospects of Ghana’s first all-female music festival, dubbed ‘SheRhythms’.
The festival is crafted to celebrate and amplify the voices, creativity, and achievements of women in music.
“To the SHEROES Sisterhood, which continues to grow across continents, SheRhythms represents a homecoming — a celebration of the deep ties between Ghana and the global African community,” Ms Poole noted in a write-up.
The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), under which auspices the SheRhythms was launched recently, says the festival formed part of its golden jubilee celebrations.
“Empowering Her Voice, Amplifying Her Art, Reshaping Her Industry”, is the theme for the festival slated for December 4-6, 2025, at the Alliance Française in Accra.
It is billed to showcase female musicians from Ghana and other countries, offering audiences a variety of genres and live performances.
It will also include workshops, masterclasses and mentorship programmes aimed at equipping women with skills in music business, production and performance.
Ms Poole, who featured at the launch of the festival, described the event as significant.
“It proves that when women come together, we share spirit, strength, and vision. We create movements that transform industries, communities, and generations,” she noted.
From the perspective of SHEROES, an international network committed to women’s empowerment, the launch of the festival is not just a celebration of artistry but a continuation of a legacy.
“This festival is freeing — it is the affirmation I have needed for so long,” Ms Poole noted.
The statement recalled how in 2016, the American artist embarked on the SUPERLASHES Tour, a journey across West Africa that introduced the empowering anthem SUPERLASHES.
“That tour planted the seeds of what would grow into the SHEROES Sisterhood — a global movement that now operates in more than 28 countries, empowering global African women through art, advocacy, and collective action,” it emphasised.
