The O2

London Goes Afrobeat Crazy as Ghana Hiplife, Afrobeat Festival comes to indigO2!

Just weeks after Choice FM’s DJ Abrantee launched his own Afrobeats show in London, the genre seems to be having a sway on mainstream music with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Sway and Tinchy Stryder confessing to be fans.

Hiplife which originally derived from Afrobeats is Africa's version of Hip Hop. The music genre thrives everywhere in Africa especially Ghana and is now hotting the dance floors of London.

Alordia, WestCoast UK and Abrantee, the same organisers that brought indigO2 Ghana Independence will be bringing you the Hiplife Festival and After Party. 24 December 2011 will see a line up of Ghana's biggest Hiplife artists such as: Ruff n Smooth, Stay J, Tiffany and Kwabena Kwabena.

The team are very excited about bringing the Hiplife Festival and the After Party at indigO2 just as they did with Ghana’s 54th Independence celebrations in March. Other performers include: Sunderland striker, Asamoah Gyan, who will 'do the dance' with Castro, while Atumpan will be entertaining the crowd with his popular single, 'Small girl you don't know the ting'. Alordia said, “We are doing it again but this time bigger and better, No long Ting! We have the right artists and the right venue. Don't miss it.”

The Hiplife Festival and After Party is certainly a night not to be missed.
