Global Citizen Festival

What is that behind you right there? Give us a little talk through.

Well, next week, September 26, 60,000 global citizens are going to join us on the Great Lawn of Central Park in New York City for the Global Citizen Festival.

It's going to be headlined by Ms. Lauren Hill and Wycliffe Jeanne doing the 30th anniversary of the score.

We're going to have Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Lenny Wilson, Shibuzi, tomorrow by together.

We're going to see them again in May.

I'm going to see them next month at the Global Citizens Festival in New York.

So if you're there, biters, come say hi.

I will be there.

We'll talk to the author straight ahead on Morning Joe.

uh

i think i'll go for ashaka's

digital streaming platforms

I don't know if he is doing his thing but another one that I feel like is a competition would be Adekunle's Good live at the National Center because that was his Fuji album

yeah that Fuji album and that was the one he brought out Moise Minka Efele and I think one of the Fuji artists again on stage you know what that one will give ashaka a run for his money but i think ashaka just slightly tilts that one with the win uh so a good one i i really did enjoy but still my winner is ashaka Although Arastar's performance at Global Citizen Festival was one to watch Arastar is a good performer

though For your viewing pleasure On to the next Afrobeat single of the year, we have Rema, Fon, Ashakin and Whiskey, Djogudu, Fido, Joy is Coming, Shalipopi, Lahore, Davido and Omale with you, Fola, You and Bonaboy, Bondu by Bondu.
