The unique entertainment line-up included performances by Afrobeat pioneer and Grammy-nominated musician Femi Kuti, and Afro-Pop sensation Temi Dollface.
Introducing eclectic variety to the line-up were performances by an
acclaimed electric violinist, a contortionist, a magician and a
refreshingly rare DJ set, which incorporated a live drummer and
saxophonist.

and, through the Johnnie Walker Black Podium event series, we aim to
raise the profile of this talent along with celebrating those taking the
entertainment industry to the next level in Nigeria,” adds Liz Ashdown.
