Family Tree Entertainment has taken another big step to partner some American-based organisations for a series of concerts involving some of Ghana’s big names in hiplife and gospel music on an American tour dubbed “The Best of Ghana-USA Tour” from August 9.

After making A. B. Crentsil and Obour virtual ambassadors for the promotion of hiplife and highlife music in some European countries in the “Best of the Lifes” tour, Family Tree Entertainment has carved a niche for itself as a reputed artiste management firm creating ambassadors out of Ghana’s young and talented artistes by organising concerts in collaboration with international organisations outside the country to promote educative concepts and project the good name of the country.

The “Best of Ghana-USA Tour” is the latest of such exploits which will see great Ghanaian artistes like Kwaw Kese, Daasebra Dwamena, Alewa, Yenfre, Diana Araba-Banson, Kwasi and Kwaku performing in some states in America alongside foreign-based hiphop and reggae artistes like Dickie D, Oheneba PK, Baba Shanty, Shaolin and Kwasi Selasie.

The tour, organised by Family Tree, US-based Jutaco Music Productions and The Ghanaians Association in America. It will last from August 9 to September 27 and promises to bring out the best of Ghanaian music to the thousands of fans that turn up at the event.

According to officials of Family Tree, this tour is expected to be more exciting and successful than previous ones involving musicians like Noble Nketia among others held in parts of Germany, Denmark, Portugal and Spain where the crowd hailed them.

The first concert will be held on August 9 at State Park in Connecticut while Taminak Blv. in Columbus, Ohio will be the venue for the second concert on August 16. August 23 will see the concert being staged at Century Avenue in Hollywood, California.

The crew will then move to Carroll Avenue in Maryland for the third gig on August 30 and play a special one on August 31 at the Sheraton Hotel in New York to mark Family Day and Health Expo, and end it all on September 6 in Chicago.

The tour is being organised with the aim of creating public awareness and raising funds among Ghanaian residents in America as well as some foreigners towards the Peace Project initiated by Family Tree.

It also serves as an opportunity to remind the people about the issues of health and education in Ghana and the roles of American-based Ghanaians in contributing to make the December elections peaceful and successful for the whole country.

“The Ghanaian artistes billed for this tour will leave the country via Delta Airlines on August 8 and we expect to make the moneys of our various sponsors worth every bit it” said a representative of Family Tree.

Sponsors of the tour are Smart Energy Drink, Trinity Travel, Prestige Travel, African Queen, Moonlight, Vigo Money Transfer, Affiliated Health Plus and Adum Market.
