Popular Nigerian music artistes, Yemi Alade and Femi Kuti will be performing on Tuesday when French President Emmanuel Macron pays a visit to the New Afrika Shrine.
Cameroonian singer, Charlotte Dipanda, is also expected to add spice and flavor with her performance at the event.
Macron will be attending an event tagged ‘A Celebration of African Culture’.
He will also announce the launch of the Season of African Cultures 2020 in France, as part of a cultural event organised by TRACE.
Several VIP guests, including representatives from the African creative and arts sectors, have been invited to attend the multicultural event.
A Nollywood movie scene will also be filmed live on the night by Kunle Afolayan, a renowned film director.
Olivier Laouchez, o-founder and executive chairman of TRACE, who spoke about the forthcoming event said “TRACE’s mission is to support, nurture, cherish and celebrate Afro-urban music and cultures and to bring them to the world, because we believe that the world can only benefit from a better understanding of the richness and the diversity of these cultures, which have long been undervalued.”
“It is for this reason that we have organized this momentous event, to launch the 2020 Season of African Cultures in France. One of the objectives of this season is to change the French perception of the African continent through the promotion of contemporary African creation, and this is what TRACE strives to do every day,” he said.
