Accra Essentials Launches AE Events with "Daddies and Classics"

Accra Essentials, the cultural curator behind some of the city’s most memorable lifestyle experiences, has officially unveiled its new events division, "AE Events", with "Daddies and Classics" as its debut showcase.

Set to take place at Tali’s Lounge on 15th June 2025, this event promises a nostalgic journey through Ghana’s musical golden age, paired with a forward-thinking conversation on men’s mental health.

A New Chapter for Accra’s Nightlife

AE Events marks an exciting expansion for Accra Essentials, known for celebrating Ghanaian culture through music, art, and immersive experiences. With this new venture, the brand aims to redefine nightlife by blending entertainment with enlightenment—proving that a great party can also spark meaningful dialogue.

"We’re not just creating events; we’re building communities," says Adu-Gyamfi, the Project Manager at Accra Essentials. "With AE Events, every gathering will have soul—whether it’s through music, art, or conversations that matter. ‘Daddies and Classics’ is just the beginning."

What to Expect at "Daddies and Classics"

Throwback Sounds: DJ Deoc spinning classic highlife and hiplife anthems to ignite collective nostalgia.
Open Mic Therapy: A 30-minute session led by a licensed therapist, tying June’s "Men’s Mental Health Month" to themes in the music.
Collaborative Vibes: A partnership with Tali’s Bar and Accra Essentials Events to deliver a seamless fusion of ambiance and substance.
New School Live Performances: TrekyMoon and T-Bag TheBadKvng to grace the stage, you can't miss this for anything!

Why This Matters

Ghana’s nightlife scene often prioritizes hype over depth. AE Events challenges that norm by curating experiences where revelers leave “fuller, not just faded.” “Daddies and Classics” exemplifies this mission—honoring the past while addressing present-day struggles, like the stigma around men’s mental health.

"Music has always been therapy," notes the event’s therapist collaborator. "This is a chance to reconnect with the lyrics that shaped us and reflect on how they mirror our lives today."

The Future of AE Events

Following “Daddies and Classics,” AE Events plans to roll out more culturally rooted programming, from vinyl listening parties to artist-led workshops—all designed to “move the culture forward without losing its essence.”
