Purdue Convocations Unveils 2026–27 SeasonCelebrate global cultures at the 31st Annual West Lafayette Global Fest during Purdue’s Weeks of Welcome!   ABOUT Purdue Convocations Unveils 2026–27 Season Join us for an unforgettable day filled with vibrant performances, mouthwatering international cuisine, and engaging cultural exhibits and activities. Bring your friends and family to immerse yourselves in a tapestry of global heritage right in the heart of West Lafayette. Brazilian singer and activist Bia Ferreira spreads messages of feminism, love, and social justice across her native Brazil and beyond. Ghanaian musician, songwriter, and producer Gyedu-Blay Ambolley will headline this year’s festival with his innovative fusion of high-life, Afrobeat, Afropop, funk, and jazz. Be prepared to let loose at the main stage dance floor! Additional performances by Black Voices of Inspiration, Boiler Bhangra, Okinawa Yuyukai, and more.   Featured ArtistsBia FerreiraBia Ferreira is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and artivist who has distinguished herself as one of the most powerful voices in the contemporary Latin American music scene. Her art spans music, activism and politics, creating sounddiscourses that confront structural racism, LGBTphobia, black feminism, love and community affections through a critical and sensitive aesthetic. Bia defines her work as Contemporary Brazilian Music, concepts that place her work as a political and social expression of marginalised bodies and that stem from her own experience. Musically, her work blends elements of soul, blues, reggae, funk, R&B, rap, and references to Brazilian music, dialoguing with Afro- diasporic traditions and languages. Gyedu-Blay AmbolleyGyedu Blay Ambolley is a musical luminary hailing from Ghana, West Africa, with a staggering 29 albums under his belt. Known affectionately as the “Simigwa Do Man,” Ambolley’s musical journey began in the vibrant port city of Sekondi-Takoradi, in the Western Region of Ghana. His early fascination with music blossomed into a lifelong passion. From mastering his father’s flute at the tender age of eight, to honing his guitar skills under the mentorship of “Uncle Bonku”, Sammy Lartey and Ebo Taylor, Ambolley’s musical odyssey has been nothing short of extraordinary. This all led to Ambolley becoming a musical life force and exploding on the scene in 1973 with a jazzy highlife sound called ‘SIMIGWA-DO’. His name has become synonymous with Simigwa music and dance.
