Ghana will once again take center stage in the global reggae movement as Sankofa Reggae Fest 2026 returns on 6 March 2026 at Tawala Beach Resort, bringing together artists, communities, and cultural advocates committed to the revival of roots reggae on the African continent.
Sankofa Reggae Fest is a culturally grounded, Ghana-based music festival inspired by the Sankofa philosophy — the idea of returning to one’s roots to reclaim what is valuable for the future. In a contemporary music landscape increasingly dominated by commercial trends, the festival positions roots reggae as a voice of consciousness, heritage, resistance, and unity.
At the heart of the festival is Black Prophet, one of Ghana’s most respected reggae artists and cultural ambassadors, whose international career and long-standing relationships within the global reggae community have made the festival possible. Through personal outreach and mutual respect, several international artists have committed to performing in solidarity with the festival’s mission to reconnect reggae to its African roots.
An International Line-Up with a Cultural Purpose
Sankofa Reggae Fest 2026 will feature performances by renowned international and African reggae artists, including:

The festival is designed not as a one-off concert, but as a cultural platform aimed at restoring roots reggae’s presence, relevance, and respect in Africa — where reggae’s philosophy, rhythms, and message first found inspiration.
More Than Music
Beyond live performances, Sankofa Reggae Fest represents:
-
Cultural reconnection and African identity
-
Conscious living and community values

Artistic solidarity across continents

Responsible celebration in a safe, inclusive environment
The festival also provides a strong platform for brand partnerships aligned with values of heritage, wellness, authenticity, and sustainability.
Looking Ahead

As preparations enter the final phase, organizers are calling on cultural partners, brands, media, and supporters who share the vision of preserving and promoting roots reggae to join in making Sankofa Reggae Fest 2026 a landmark moment.
