Among the popular musicians who performed were: Sheriff Ghali (the 2005 best Reggae artiste in Ghana), Sherifatu Gunu, Abu Mohammed, Mayopia, Lord Wumpini, Mama Rams, George Cliff, Nana Ayisha, Super Slam, Subash, Kawa Stone, Faako, Tarim Bia, Bikura Ba, K.K.C., Monkey No Fine among others.
The dominant theme of the songs that were performed centered on peace, unity, forgivenness, love and oneness. One of the most relevant lyrics was the one that was adopted as the signature tune of the Beacon of Peace 2007 and performed by Sherifatu Gunu. It ran as follows:
