We can’t stop talking about the One Africa Music Fest that recently held at Barclays Center in New York.
Put together by Paul Okoye of Upfront & Personal Group, the show was an amazing success.
There were performances from several African stars including Ghanaian singer Efya, Tanzanian star Diamond Platnumz, Nigerian stars Wizkid, Davido, Flavour, Tiwa Savage, Timaya, Don Jazzy, Praiz, Sound Sultan and more. There was also a performance by Jidenna.
The show was hosted by Banky W and we’ve got all the photos from the concert for you.
Check them out below!

Judging from this pictures, It was an electrifying night.
TIWA looks amazing as always. And it seems she had lots of fun.
This is a good move. The next stop should be London and all of Europe. I congratulate the organisers
Prince Prince I know say I go see you here.
Thanks Flavour, Seun Kuti, Diamond Platnumz. We need more young African artistes who will be the next Masakela,Yosou N dour,Miriam Makeba,etc
Yes o! Even without PSQUARE!!! The event was fab. New artists! Good music.
Nigerians get carried with the look of things. The functionality and the detail is overlooked.
Flavour, and jidenna were the highlight of the show. Then Seun Kuti.
Tiwa looked good, danced but vocal wise, she can do better. Let’s not settle for mediocrity.
What I got from the show is, Nigerian artists need a lot of work in the area of performing live. Wording your own lyrics, is not too much to ask for. We ain’t even asking for mad vocals but at least repeat your own songs into the microphone.
I looked forward to hear ojulegba, but Wizkid talked halfway, shouted then went on how he has too many hits. Band or no band, he needs to improve on his stage performance.
Don’t get me started on Davido. All I’m going to say is, let’s stop hyping this young artists up, they need to step up their game. Good music is beyond having nice video, hits but autotune you are rubbish.
So true. Far too much “lip sync” going on during the concert. Especially Davido. So hope they’ll work on their craft more now that they’re all signing international labels. It was nice to have all those artists in one place though.
YASSSSS!
Great analysis.
Jidenna and Flavour stole the show.
Flavour’s band members were great!
The show was LIT!!!!
Wizy babe Baba Nla won,Baba God no ni.
Show was lit!….kudos to Paul okoye..for organising a massive show outside the shores of naija…. …….Respect!!
Was it organised by Paul Okoye? If yes, double thumbs up to him
Wizkid and Davido confirmed why they are the best for now,they brought massive energy into the building.
DAVIDO WAS AMAZING!
This show was AMAZING!!! Flavour, Timaya and Jidenna did it for me that night. Awesome event đ
I’m sorry but what song exactly did Sound sultan sing?? hahaha why was he there?? I cant.
lol, some of the pictures sha! The photographer was quite mischievious.
As for the show, great product outta Nigeria, Thumbs up!
Watch the show on YouTube and judge for your self. Beautiful show!
Please who are those 3 mamas in the first picture? Who?
aww Tiwa Savage is indeed the black Beyoncé.
Was Beyonce white before? Black beyonce kwa? Na wa o. Her vocal performance was very mediocre sha but her energy and choreography was very good. But nowhere near close to Beyonce. Nowhere.
congratulations to Flavour for the best performance
