AratheJay Brings First‑Ever Live Concert to Cape Coast This Sunday
Ghanaian spiritual Highlife and Afro‑fusion sensation AratheJay is set to electrify XCape Beach Resort in Cape Coast on Sunday, October 11, marking his first‑ever live performance in the historic city.
The singer, born Samuel Ofei Ankrah Badu, says the concert will be a defining moment for the Central Region as he brings his acclaimed live band experience to Cape Coast for the very first time.
“This will be a special moment for the people of Cape Coast, because for the first time, I’m going to have a show there. It’s going to be a live band performance,” AratheJay said.
The Cape Coast show forms part of a nationwide city tour ahead of his major headline concert in Accra this December. According to the artiste, the tour is designed to give fans a more intimate encounter with his evolving sound.
“We are leading the audience to an experience which is going to happen in December in Accra. But before that, we are going to touch a couple of cities. We just came from Kumasi, we do Cape Coast and hopefully another city before closing the year with Nimo Live Experience in Accra,” he explained.
The award‑winning crooner promised fans an unforgettable night, backed by his live band and a catalogue of his biggest records. He described the upcoming concert as a deeper connection to his artistry.
“Nimo Live is AraTheJay live on stage. One set at a time, you get to hear AratheJay and listen to his music, but this time you get to feel the individual, get to understand the depth of what he makes music with. It’s not just lyrics and melodies; it’s more than that. That’s why I yearn for the audience to come for Nimo Live — come and experience me more live,” he said.
Known for blending traditional Ghanaian Highlife with Afro‑soul and contemporary Afrobeats, AratheJay has earned international attention through Apple Music’s Africa Rising Class of 2025, Up Next, OkayAfrica, and Amplify Africa — a testament to his rising global potential.
