Earlier this year, Ms. Lauryn Hill apologized to her fans in Nigeria with a memorable acoustic performance of her classic "Doo Wop (That Thing)" after having to postpone what would have been her first show ever in the country. In the video, she assured fans that she'd make it to Nigeria at a later date, and it looks as though Ms. Hill is keeping good on her promise. After much anticipation, it's been announced that the luminary will be making her way to Lagos this month accompanied by a 20-man band. Other Nigerian acts are slated to perform as well, but remain unconfirmed. The concert will take place this Sunday, August 30 at Lagos' Eko Hotel and Suites and will be hosted by Nigerian comedian Basketmouth. Purchase tickets for the show below and revisit Lauryn's apology video as well as a recent post about the singer's influence on revolutionary hip-hop groups in North Africa.
