Award-winning Ghanaian musician KiDi has urged his fellow artistes to embrace collaborations as a key strategy for expanding Ghana’s presence on the global music stage.
Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb’s Isaac Dadzie at the AfroFuture Festival on December 29, 2025, the ‘Lomo Lomo’ hitmaker noted that Ghana’s relatively small population places its music industry at a numerical disadvantage internationally.
According to him, collaborations offer a powerful solution to this challenge.
“We’re from a country where there are not many of us. And one of the strategies I feel like will get us out there and get our names out there is through collaboration. There is so much power in collaboration – two powers coming together to form something amazing,” he noted.
KiDi stressed that many African songs that have achieved significant global success over the past decade were products of strategic collaborations.
“You can cast your mind to all the African songs in the last decade that have crossed over into the world. Most of the time, lasting impacts have been collaborations,” he said.
He, therefore, called on artistes to put aside egos and differences and work together more, describing collaborations as a necessary tool for amplifying reach, influence, and global recognition for Ghanaian music.
“We need to put aside our egos and put aside our differences and collaborate more,” he said.
KiDi said this after his jaw-dropping performance at the 2025 AfroFuture Festival where he joined a strong lineup, featuring Moliy, King Paluta, Asake and Rema, for one of Ghana’s premier music and culture festivals, delivering two days of top-tier entertainment on December 28 and 29.
The festival offered high-energy performances, surprise guest appearances and a memorable climax led by Rema on the final night.
Beyond the music, AfroFuture also celebrated African culture through food, fashion and art installations, creating a vibrant, immersive experience that lived up to expectations and reinforced the festival’s place as a key highlight on Ghana’s Detty December calendar.
