Theme: Resonance of mental Wellness: A Festival Journey to Mental Harmony

“Find Your Rhythm, Heal You Mind” 

Music connects people together across the entire globe and allows them to express themselves in so many ways that words cannot. A lot of people tend to tie their favorite tune to a special memory or time in their life. And music has a way of lifting people’s spirits, even when they’re in their darkest hour. As Giamari we want to make use of the music’s remarkable healing powers, it’s no wonder it’s become an important part of mental therapy. 

Our organization’s mission is to make use of musical activities to address issues of concern in our society as well as bring people together, market, and advertise our Musical Arts and Culture. Our 2025 drive and objectives are centered on the following. 

Promote Mental Health Awareness: By utilizing the festival as a platform to educate attendees on the importance of mental health, reducing stigma, and providing access to support.

Artistic Expression: To encourage participants to express their mental health journeys through the festival performances, workshops, and collaborative projects.

Healing Through Music: To emphasize the therapeutic power of African Traditional Music Festival music in improving mood, reducing stress, and promoting a sense of belonging in a community.

Cultural Connection: To celebrate the cultural significance of this African International Music Festival while drawing parallels to mental wellness practices rooted in tradition and community.
