She explained it forms a core part of their mandate as a commission with regard to public diplomacy.
The Minister in the Ghana Embassy in Spain, William Manful, also urged the team to do more international collaborations as the Vis-a-Vis, to promote Ghanaian music.
He expressed excitement and encouraged Ghanaians to support the initiative within the media space.
He stated that the Embassy will be supporting Ghanaian musicians and bands in subsequent years for festivals whenever there is an opportunity.
