On the night of October 9, 2025, the tranquil town of Leklebi-Agbesia traded its calm for pure cosmic energy as rhythm, heritage, and homecoming collided under the stars. The occasion? The Edzoleme Street Carnival — a historic musical homecoming ignited by none other than Ghana’s celestial songstress herself, Feli Nuna.
This wasn’t just another concert — it was a cultural resurrection.
The spectacle was powered by the Leklebi Agbonu To Festival, marking the triumphant return of a celebration that had slept for four decades. Rooted in the legend of the Ewe ancestors’ escape from King Agorkoli of Notsie, the festival stands as a living monument to courage, freedom, and identity — a timeless reminder that resilience runs deep in the veins of the people of Leklebi and Lavie.
After 40 years of silence, the Agbonutoza once again echoed through the valleys — a heartbeat of unity and pride that reconnected generations. By nightfall, the Leklebi Community Center had transformed into a radiant ocean of color, music, and movement, as thousands from across the Volta Region and beyond gathered to witness history reborn.
The evening opened with the rhythmic pulse of Borborbor, grounding the celebration in Volta’s cultural heartbeat. Then came MC Kelly, who turned the dial from tradition to thrill — seamlessly guiding the crowd from ancestral chants to modern cheers.
The lineup shimmered with young brilliance. Rising acts Brokah Zeal and Smasher GMC, graduates of the STTART Project — Feli Nuna’s OSDA-backed creative incubator — set the tone with fiery performances that proved the Volta spirit is alive and evolving.
Then came the queen of the night.
Feli Nuna stormed the stage in a performance that was equal parts soul, swagger, and storytelling. Her mix of rap, melody, and meaning washed over the crowd, reminding everyone that the power of roots is not just remembered — it’s relived.
But the night had one more surprise in store.
Midway through her performance of “Edzoleme,” the atmosphere shifted — and in walked Edem, the Volta legend, lyrical architect, and national icon. The moment he grabbed the mic, the crowd erupted. Energy turned electric, pride turned palpable — and for a heartbeat, Leklebi became the center of Ghana’s musical universe.
By the time dawn stretched over the Leklebi-Agbesia Valley, one truth lingered in the cool morning air: Edzoleme wasn’t just a concert — it was history retold through rhythm.
Feli Nuna’s homecoming was more than a performance; it was a circle completed — a beacon of heritage, unity, and hope, inspiring the next generation of Volta creatives to rise, remember, and roar.
