Two Nigerian artistes to perform in Spain 2023 summer festivals

Two Nigerian artistes have been selected to perform in Spain at the 2023 summer festivals after winning Vis a Vis Nigeria.

This was contained in a statement made available by the Embassy of Spain, Abuja on Tuesday.

Vis a Vis is a professional meeting between Spanish cultural promoters and African musicians, which Casa África has been holding for twelve years on the neighbouring continent.

The project aims to guarantee a greater presence of African music on Spanish stages by promoting the winning groups’ tour to the festivals participating in the program and to help generate the cultural industry in Africa.

Out of 125 candidates, 12 Nigerian bands were selected to perform on March 23 and 24 in Lagos, in the presence of Spanish music producers and festival directors, as part of the Nigeria-Spain Vis a Vis cultural joint project.

The two bands selected after performing in front of the Spanish delegation; Ruth Mahogany and the ARB Music Band, from Abuja; and Ara Queen of Drums, from Lagos; will travel to Spain in July to take part in some of the most important Summer Festivals that are organized throughout Spain and attract both national and international tourists.

The VIS A VIS project is organized by Casa África, Spain’s public diplomacy institution, along with the Ministry of Information and Culture of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Nigerian Tourism Development Authority, and the Spanish Embassy in Nigeria.
