Jamaica and Ghana explore common heritage with promise of electrifying musical display in Japan

Jamaica and Ghana share common heritage in Japan

Jamaica and Ghana are set to explore common cultural heritage between the two countries in Japan as citizens embark on a journey to discover their roots through musical explorations.

Ghanaian and Jamaican citizens living in Japan are on the verge of exploring cultural heritage that link the two countries together.

On Friday, February 28, 2025, at the Akasaka Civic Center in Minato City in Tokyo, the Ghana Embassy in Japan in collaboration of Bayside Entertainment Limited and a Jamaican musical group will host a musical program captioned Celebrating Our Common Heritage.

The event will be held to mark the 68th Independence Day in Ghana which falls on March 6, 2025.

A very good number of the Jamaican population trace their roots to Ghana and still have communities in the Caribbean Island nation who still practice Ghanaian culture.

Queen Nanny, the woman who is credited for originating Reggae Music, traces her roots to the West African nation and will be celebrated during the event.

Dela Botri, Yao, and Mackaruffin and the Mackaroots Band are the musicians who are billed to perform at the event.
