Essiet, otherwise known as
Mandators, while briefing newsmen in a world class press conference during the
week, said the festival comes live on November 26, 2016 at the Hockey Pitch, National
Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
He posited that the festival programme is designed to promote culture, tourism, art and impact positively on the economy.
According to him: "There is
no doubt that the positive sociocultural and economic achievement of the past
have encouraged us to keep the soul of reggae music flying across the African
continent in line with the collective aspiration of reggae music lovers in
Africa and around the world."
Further, he praised the founder
of the international music festival based in the United States of America for
giving him the franchise in 2013 which enabled him to bring it to Nigeria in
2014 for the first Nigeria edition.
And as the success of the maiden
edition made the subsequent edition not only possible, but successful and
therefore encouraging, this year’s edition promises to parade an array of stars
across Africa such as Nkulee Dube, daughter of the late great South African reggae
legend, Lucky Dube, along with Big Bob (Sierra Leone), Redfyah (Ghana), Illest
Nana (Ghana).
Others are Malaika, Oritsefemi,
Seyi Shay, Presh of KC Presh, Captain Blazee, Saint Peters, Isaac Billyman,
Jethro Lion, Empero Zig-Zag, Sweat Reggae Band and Faith Okosun, daughter of
the late Sunny Okosun.
Still more headliners are Majek
Fashek, the mystical Victor Essiet and the Mandators, 2Baba, Eljai
(Belize/USA), Patoranking, King Wadada, Pasuma Wonder (Oganla 1) and Small
Doctor.
The Africa Meets Reggae and World
Music International Festival is franchised to Victor Essiet (The Mandators),
(Mystic Records USA) for Nigeria/Africa and it gives reggae and world music new
exposure and awareness to music fans in Nigeria, Africa and worldwide.
Don’t be told.
Be there to have the experience
of a lifetime.
