Some of the hottest Afrobeats artists join forces with the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Philharmonic for this special one-off concert from Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 1Xtra.
Presented by 1Xtra’s Remi Burgz, Eddie Kadi and DJ Edu, the concert will feature exclusive live performances by Nigerian singer-songwriter CKay, London-born and double Mobo nominee Maleek Berry, Kenyan singer-songwriter Nikita Kering, one of the biggest hip-hop acts on the African continent, Sarkodie, and Finesse singer-songwriter Pheelz.
