Multiple-award-winning Ghanaian gospel singer Sonnie Badu is set to host his Rhythms of Africa concert in November.
The singer announced his concert and shared details on social media, raising fans’ anticipation for his performance.
He established that this edition’s Rhythms of Africa concert would help raise awareness about the peace Ghana deserves as it heads to the polls.
Ghana has begun its search for a new President after Nana Akufo Addo’s tenure. The Electoral Commission recently approved 13 aspirants for the elections, including the NPP’s Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the NDC’s John Dramani Mahama.
The concert took place at the Grand Arena, AICC, last year. The singer said it took over two million of his funds but brought nothing in return. Yet this year, the concert will be held at a much bigger venue, Independence Square, and attendees will not be charged to attend.
On social media, Sonnie Badu shared the backstory behind his upcoming Rhythms of Africa concert.
“Dear world, we finally have a NEW DATE and a NEW but brought no financial returns.VENUE! NOV 29th is the date for RHYTHMSOFAFRICA, the Peace Edition. This time, it’s free entry! I promise to deliver one of the best productions ever.
“If you thought the first edition was solid, just wait until you experience the second! The venue is also perfect for this election year. God is up to something.”

Artist Speaks About His Accident
Sonnie Badu opened up about his struggles after a severe accident at his home in 2023.
He denied some claims that the accident was a ploy to seek attention on social media. The Ghanaian gospel musician shared that he slipped on a staircase while cleaning his mansion and lost three toes on his right foot after his leg got caught up in a metal guardrail.
He noted that he was rushed to the hospital, where doctors informed him it would be impossible for them to re-attach his three toes to his right foot.
Sonnie Badu said that he initially relied on crutches to go out for church preachings and had to be carried for radio interviews because he could not walk properly.
The ‘Wonder God’ crooner noted that he battled depression for six months and was inspired to speak about his struggles after Nana Ama McBrown narrated the ordeal she went through after surviving a car accident in a recent interview.
Many Ghanaians expressed sympathy for Sonnie Badu on social media.
“People should go and watch the video on YouTube. Dr. Sonnie Badu is brutally injured 💔💔💔.”
