Ghanaian musician Edem set the tone for dirty December with his annual out-of-accra concert dubbed Edemfest, which took place at Ho Jubilee Park on November 18, 2023.
Over fifty thousand (50,000) people attended this year's event, which included Edem performing with an octet band and three backing vocalists. The Goget'em Band and MixMaster Garzy provided supporting for them.
Epixode, Tinny, Kelvynboy, Jupitar, and DJ Lord graced the event with their show-stopping performances as well.
According to Edem, he was more enthused about giving fans an experience that would make up for all the postponements due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
“The experienced target was to treat our fans and Edemfest lovers to a rave, live music, good, chill vibes, great culture integration, and also spectacular performances, and I think that we did it in grand style.
Based on my performance, I did a heavy-set performance with an octet band and three backing vocals for the first time in my region. The audience loved it; they jammed with me and stayed up till I got off stage at 5 a.m.,” Edem mentioned.
According to the Events and Projects Lead for VRMG, Bernard Dziwornu, “Edemfest 2023, which was in partnership with DreamChild’s HoodTalk edition, was hugely successful because of the great partnership between both parties.
In terms of curation, coordination, the drive, and flow of the event, Richard Marrio Hude, who was in charge, and Edem’s road assistant said the event flow and curation were carefully done to satisfy every fan, including giving new talents the chance to showcase their abilities to the world.
"EdemFest always involves some sort of element that improves the culture and supports the area. The Dream Child Foundation, who are doing some amazing projects for kids in the area, was our partner this year, according to George Wiredu Duah, head of VRMG's corporate, public relations, and brands.
Lamborghini energy drink, Pay Angel, Fertagro, Coca-Cola, and Virtual Hub provided support for Edemfest 2023 in exchange for exceptional production design and delivery.
