They will all be backed by the GHJazz Collective with additional musicians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Vinx says the International Serenade Festival, apart from being an avenue for mentoring and discovery, is also a chance for young creatives to connect with other artists. Previous editions had been held across the United States and Europe. It took a break when COVID-19 set in and is back, for the first time in Africa, with a Ghana edition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOur festivals are held in locations that inspire with their history, beauty and ambience.
