This Is What Afro Nation Festival Looked Like
The first edition of the urban beach festival—featuring Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, and many more—looked incredible.
Afro Nation had its very first edition over the weekend in the Algarve region of Portugal.
The newly-launched gathering brought together top talent from across Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Jamaica, the U.K. and the U.S. for a 4-day long "urban beach festival."
Over its several days and nights, Afro Nation brought together afrobeats' rising stars with cemented legends for an impressive line-up.
The debut edition of Afro Nation boasted performances form the likes of Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, J Hus, D'Banj, Busy Signal, Buju Banton, Femi Kuti, Tiwa Savage, Adekunle Gold, Jidenna, Maleek Berry, Stonebwoy, Vanessa Mdee, and many more.
