“Nigeria is an amazing country full of wonderful people who are committed to their dreams” said Sonia Aimy, Afrobeats artiste and founder/CEO of African Women Acting.
“The AWA 2023 Nigeria tour is an opportunity to entertain and interact with the Nigerian people; to share a music genre whose roots are firmly established in the Nigerian soil.” Sonia Aimy continued. “Our performances at the various cities will enable us to bring Canadian talents to Nigeria and give rooms for a cultural exchange programme in subsequent years. Nigeria is the Mecca of Afrobeats. I think, any artist who wants to explore the medium is indebted to visit the motherland”, she added.
