Africa’s biggest youth event, The Future Awards Africa (TFAA) 2014 has announced the performers for its 2014 edition.
And from Paris, one of Africa’s biggest exports to the world, Asa is leading the pack.
The singer, clearly one of Nigeria’s most successful musical ambassadors since the last decade, is to be joined by arguably the breakout artiste of the year, Yemi Alade.
Described by CNN as ‘an African pop legend in the making’, Asa, who recently released her third album, BED OF STONE, which has garnered rave reviews across the world, will be performing songs from the album at TFAA 2014. She will also be joined by multi-award winning singer, Iyanya.
‘Also on the stage at the awards event will be movie stars including Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Genevieve Nnaji, and other music stars like Banky W and foremost designer, Lanre Da Silva Ajayi.
The announcement was made by designer, Ohimai Atafo, who is the head of the Central Working Committee for the awards.
It would be be recalled that, last week, the organisers announced the four anchors for the event as Nigeria’s Ice Prince, Iyanya and Osas Ighodaro alongside Ugandan Channel O VJ, Flavia Tuminise.
