Ghanaian songstress, Wiyaala and the Patchbay Band put up a spectacular performance at Burj Park in Downtown Dubai at the maiden edition of the ‘All Africa Festival’ held on Saturday 23rd October 2021.
The event was created by Nina Olatoke and supported by Emaar Dubai, promoting African culture as a global conversation.
Wiyaala opened her set with her signature tune ‘Tinambanyi’, a song that foretells the rise of the under-appreciated.
This was followed by ‘Siiko’ which speaks of African tradition in conflict with modern ways and urges the people of Africa not to lose sight of their roots and identity. In ‘People Don’t Stop’, Wiyaala was again on message, urging her people to keep fighting for their dreams.
The finale was her hit song ‘YagaYaga’, which had the audience enthusiastically joining her in a call and response.
The ‘All Africa Festival’ is meant to showcase the vibrant energy, beauty, culture, and diversity of Africa in all her expressions and to introduce Africa to the African and the rest of the world.
