Ghanaian musician, Ama Serwah Genfi, popularly known as Amaarae, has stated that being the first Ghanaian artiste to perform a solo set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival made her feel proud as an artiste.
Speaking to Blac Volta after her star-studded Black Star album party and B2B video shoot at Republic Bar at Osu, on April 28, 2025, the “Angels in Tibet” hitmaker talked about what the moment meant to her.
Amaarae noted that her pride in being Ghanaian has never wavered, even during times she struggled to connect with audiences in the Ghanaian space.
Amaarae further emphasised that performing Ghanaian songs during her Coachella set was a purposeful tribute to her homeland.
She indicated that as the first Ghanaian artiste to perform a solo set at the festival, she felt a strong sense of responsibility to represent her country on such a global platform.
“I feel proud and happy to be a Ghanaian. I will never stop repping the flag. Even when I wasn’t connecting with the audience here, I still repped the flag no matter what. Being able to do Coachella as the first Ghanaian with a solo set felt so special to me, and I felt I also had to give a moment to my country,” she said.
