Inspiro productions Founder, Ayoola Sadare, has said the Lagos Global Afrobeats Kulture Festival (Lagos Gakfest 2022) will hold on December 28 and 29.
The festival director announced that the event is in partnership with SloweGanzi in United States, GQ Acoustics, and Zome International.
With the theme: ‘’Harnessing the Creative Economy for Youth Empowerment and National Development,’’ Sadare said the multi-city and multi-sound touring music festival will offer visitors and residents world-class entertainment.
“Lagos is Afrobeats capital of the world and since it is also one of the fastest growing music genres on the global scene, it is imperative the city hosts a festival worthy to showcase that status.
‘’From a tourism point of view, people want to know where the Lagos mentioned in Afrobeats hits is and visit same. For example, quite recently it was part of the title of Wizkid’s global awards-winning Made in Lagos album.
‘’Afrobeats is to Lagos, Nigeria what Kingston, Jamaica, and New Orleans, Louisiana are to reggae and jazz aficionados, and are attracted to those cities.
‘’December was chosen to kick off GAKFEST because it’s the year’s end and the holiday season when a lot of travelling takes place and people would have the opportunity to attend the event,” Sadare said.
