He will be performing at One Love Africa Music Festival,” organizers posted on their Instagram platform. Besides, the ‘Henzapu’ singer is enjoying a whirlwind international exposure following the success of their ‘feel good’ hit song, also known as “Funga Macho”, a joint remix with a legendary Jamaican singer, Shaggy released in October last year, which continues to enjoy unprecedented airplay, with Bruce Melodie being the biggest beneficiary. The annual event is a Swedish Afrobeats, Afropop, Afro house and afro-dancehall festival. The idea is to connect Afro Scandinavia and Non-Afro Scandinavia so that they can enjoy the sound from the Africa, according to organizers. With DJs from around the world set to entertain attendees, the festival promises three days of music, dance, and cultural appreciation. The festival’s relocation to Gothenburg underscores the city’s growing reputation as a hub for cultural events.
