Famous Afrobeat musician, Davido has disclosed why he created the "Are We African Yet? (AWAY) Festival".
Davido, in a trending interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, stated that he created the festival to provide a platform for upcoming artists.
“Why I want to do this is because when I was going out in America and I hear a song, I am like, ‘this is an African song."
“So I was excited and told my friends that this is a young guy that is coming up. I hit the young guy up that I was in the club last night and they played your song. He was like, no way!"
“So I want to allow those types of people to come every year, at different times to perform.”
