Fresh out of the Global Citizen Festival in South Africa, Nigeria’s very own Tiwa Savage and D’Banj will be performing alongside other African artistes at BAFEST 2018.

Confirming the upcoming event, Tiwa Savage said, “I am delighted to be a part of Born in Africa Festival. This feels like Coachella Live in Africa and I can’t wait to give the best of African sounds to the World.”
 
The festival is designed to celebrate Music, Art, Film and Fashion, which promote the African story to a global audience.
