One Africa Music Fest
On August 19th One Africa Music Fest was going on at the Ford Amphitheater in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Afrobeats lovers came out in full force this year (though in fewer numbers than last year), dressed to a T-shirts and ready to dance for five hours.This yearÂ’s mostly Nigerian lineup had a sizable overlap with the three other One Africa Music Fests in the past year for instance, Davido, Tiwa Savage, Flavour, Wale, Timaya, Efya and P-Square are all returnees, and the singer and actor Banky W once again hosted the event. One Africa Music Fest was a welcome celebration of Afrobeats for New Yorkers from Africa and the diaspora. To give you a taste of if, we are featuring some of the performers, with mostly newest pieces, although the audience that weekend was going freenzy on hits.
