US-based Ghanaian artiste, Amaarae chose to celebrate Ghana and its rich music when she performed at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 13, 2025 in Indio, California over the weekend.
Apart from performing her own tunes during her set, Amaarae decided to celebrate the rich Ghanaian music by performing songs from La Même Gang, Asakaa Boys, Joey B, Eazzy, among other Ghanaian acts.
During her performance, the music diva was heard loudly chanting the name of Ghana, asking the audience to wave their Ghana flag, as the flag prominently gets displayed on the stage.
“A lotta the music you just heard is from my home country, Ghana. I love my country so much,” she said.
Coachella is a major music and arts festival held in California, USA. The festival has grown substantially over the last decade and in 2012 the organisers launched a second weekend to accommodate everyone who wanted to experience the festival. Coachella is now two separate events, held over two consecutive weekends.
The first week of this year’s event happened from April 11-13. The second part will take place from April 18-20, 2025.
Amaarae is Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter who shot into the limelight in 2017 when she released her Passionfruit Summers EP.
She also has works such as The Angel You Don’t Know EP released in 2020 and Fountain Baby released in 2023.
