The inaugural BET Experience Africa takes place at the Ticketpro Dome, Johannesburg on Saturday, 12 December.
AKA will perform alongside Maxwell, Tamar Braxton, Raphael Saadiq, Flavour (Nigeria) and Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania) at the BET Experience Africa Concert in the main arena, while Nathi is the first of many artists who will appear on the outdoor festival stage.
AKA is recognised as one of the most talented and influential rappers in Africa. As well as sharing stages with Kanye West, Snoop Lion, Rick Ross and Big Sean, AKA has received a host of awards and accolades. This year alone he was nominated for the Best International Act (Africa) at the BET Awards, and the Best African Act at the 2015 MTV EMAs before going on to win Best Collaboration at the MTV Africa Music Awards. He is currently nominated for Best International Act (Africa) at the M.O.B.O. awards.
2015 has also been a good year for Nathi, the afro-soul singer from the Eastern Cape whose debut album Buyel’ekhaya recently went double platinum, selling more than 100 000 copies in just a few months.
BET Experience Africa will feature live performances on a central sound stage, while stand-up routines from comedians will keep the audience laughing.
