The recently announced Africa Day Benefit Concert at Home line-up has been met with mixed feelings by African musicians, critics and fans who are questioning the mix of artists and the countries that will be represented at the virtual event on 25 May.
Burna Boy, Sho Madjozi, Diamond Platnumz and Tiwa Savage will be part of the virtual concert on Africa Day.
Zimbabwean comedian Carl Joshua Ncube has his misgivings about the placement of artists’ names on the event poster.
The concert is organised by ViacomCBS Networks Africa and YouTube.
Artists scheduled to perform include Angélique Kidjo (Benin), Fally Ipupa (DRC), Burna Boy (Nigeria), Toofan (Togo), Yemi Alade (Nigeria), Sho Madjozi (South Africa), Sauti Sol (Kenya), Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania), Tiwa Savage (Nigeria) and others.
