African Legends Night celebrates great music acts from the soil of the continent. It also creates a platform where these legends have direct encounter with their fans. This year’s show was the first time the event witnessed two foreign African artistes on the same stage.

Opening the show, Lamisi performed songs from her latest “Brighter Side” album setting the mood for a great night.
