THISDAY Africa Rises on Usher, Jay-Z, Mary J Blige, Rihanna & more!


The party is in Nigeria this weekend! THISDAY Newspapers, one of the leading newspapers in Nigeria hosts one of the best annual music festivals on the African Continent. Jay-Z, Usher, Mary J Blige, and Rihanna are all slated to perform along some of Africa's hottest talent, like Senegal's Youssou Ndour and Nigeria's M1 (em-one). The festival, tagged "Africa Rising: To Celebrate the Best and Brightest of Emerging New Africa” is designed to revolutionise global perspectives on African issues, shifting focus from the problems to the opportunities and from treating the "symptoms" to curing the "diseases" and projecting positive images of Africa by showcasing the renaissance of Africa's music, fashion and the arts.
