All is now set for the second edition of Born in Africa Festival (BAFEST) powered by Access Bank, One of Nigeria’s foremost financial institutions.
The highly entertaining fusion of music, art, film and fashion, will hold on Sunday, December 15, 2019 at Eko Atlantic, Lagos.
The full day event is designed to uniquely celebrate the distinct dynamism of the true African spirit, birthed from a need to tell the true story of Africa in its different forms.
Speaking on the importance of repositioning Africa and changing its narrative, Amaechi Okobi, group head, Communications & External Affairs, Access Bank, said; “This year, we’re doing more for the culture. Last year, we realised how important it was for we Africans to tell our stories and express our truth in the truest forms.
“We are proud to be doing this yet again with the second edition of BAFEST. We had a successful event last year and we’re sure that the day-long event will this year, prove to Africans and the rest of the world the need to celebrate our culture, traditions, history and our future.”
