The collaboration between music starters and established artists is to ensure a stronger and more united music community while training them to become creative entrepreneurs. It is expected that the program will help deepen relations among U.S., Ghanaian, and Nigerian creatives, promote the development of creative art forms, and boost economic activities in the West African region. Interested creatives, entrepreneurs, and musicians have been asked by the organizers to identify projects they wish to work on during the program. It also announced that at the end of the residency, “fellows will be asked to develop a pitch or plan for the next steps of their projects, which will be presented in Accra.”

The OneBeat Ghana will be the first of its kind since the inception of the OneBeat initiative. It will be a pilot program as organizers set out to remodel the OneBeat Abroad exchange to reflect recent challenges faced by creatives, especially musicians. The new model will focus on addressing problems confronting the growth of musicians globally through the deployment of workable strategies to improve creative entrepreneurship.

The OneBeat program was launched in 2012 as an initiative of ECA; the OneBeat Ghana is supported by the embassies of the U.S. in Ghana and Nigeria and produced by Bang on a Can’s Found Sound Nation.

According to organizers, entry applications are due by July 14, 2023. This year’s edition will take place in Accra, Ghana, between November 6, 2003, and November 20, 2023.
