This year's Rhythms On Da Runway will honour individuals who have contributed immensely to the advancement of the creative arts in Ghana.

Slated for November 30, 2024, at the Grand Arena, this year’s edition will witness the honouring of prominent figures such as Agya Koo Nimo, known in private life as Daniel Amponsah, who has undoubtedly established himself as Ghana's foremost exponent of acoustic guitar highlife and folklore (palm wine music).

Also being honoured on the night is Chief Dele Momodu of Ovation fame, who has unwaveringly invested in and supported Ghanaian creatives.

One of the country’s finest voices in highlife music, Kwabena Kwabena, who has inspired generations with his craft, will also be an honouree.

Additionally, Bibie Brew, a renowned Ghanaian-French international singer who broke boundaries with her impeccable voice, will be among the recipients on the night.

Speaking at the launch on Saturday, September 21, Yvonne Ocloo, Producer and Creative Director of Rhythms On Da Runway, said, “In this spirit, I am happy to announce the list of our Black Star Honourees for this year: our very own Kwabena Kwabena, the icon Agya Koo Nimo, the titan Mr. Dele Momodu, and the timeless Bibie Brew for their immeasurable contributions to the creative arts."

Since its inception in 2010, Rhythms On Da Runway has stood as a beacon of unity, fusing the vibrant forces of African fashion and music to exalt the limitless talent that resides on our continent.

From the legendary icons of African music to the rising stars of fashion and design, the event has proudly showcased the full spectrum of creativity.
