This weekend, the Africa Music Festival in Leicester is calling!
Now, it is easy just to call it another event. People have been known to slap the word Africa and call it a day.
Not this time. The Africa Music Festival is a celebration of who we are as Africans.
Now, if you’ve been seeing all the vibe and wondering whether to go, here are five reasons why this festival is where you need to be.
1. Feel the Heartbeat of Africa in the Music
Our continent is blessed with music that speaks to the soul. From the pulsating beats of Amapiano and Afrobeats to the immersive vibes of Zimdancehall and Rhumba, African music is the melting pot.
The Africa Music Festival gives you this experience live, with artists who bring their unique sound from all corners of Africa in a celebration of our shared heritage through music.
2. Celebrate Our Rich Culture and Flavours
Africa’s stories, traditions, and vibrant cultures find a home in this festival with a chance to dive deep into everything that makes us proud to be African.
The Africa Music Festival isn’t just about the beats; it’s a feast for all your senses. From the colourful attire that speaks to our ancestors’ spirits to the traditional dances that tell tales of our history, the festival showcases our cultural richness in every detail.
And then there’s the food—a true reflection of our diverse continent.
Whether you’re craving spicy West African jollof rice, East African nyama choma, Southern African sadza and stew, or North African tagine, you’ll find dishes that remind you of home and introduce you to new flavours.
3. Support Our Own
African artists are making waves around the world, but they need our support to keep going. This festival brings together some of the biggest names in African music, like Alick Macheso, Makhadzi, Chef 187, Koffi Olomide, Spyro, Holy Ten, and Tocky Vybz.
By attending, you’re not just enjoying great music – you’re supporting African talent and helping our artists shine even brighter on the global stage.
4. Connect with Your African Brothers and Sisters
What is a celebration without the African family connection?
Whether you’re from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Congo, or any other part of Africa, this Africa Music Festival is a chance to come together and celebrate as one.
Meet people who share your love for African music and culture. Feel the warmth of community, no matter where you’re from. Feel the spirit and connection.
5. Create Memories That Last
It’s the energy, the laughter, the shared moments of joy, things you’ll carry with you long after the music stops.
The Africa Music Festival is a place to make memories with friends, both old and new. It’s an experience that will fill your heart with pride and your spirit with joy.
So, what are you waiting for?
Tick-tock.
Get your tickets, bring your friends, and celebrate Africa together this weekend!
