Afro Nation
Afro Nation is an annual three-day music festival organised by global entertainment company The Malachite Group (TMG), founded in 2019 to unite the African diaspora in a celebration of dance, food, fashion, music. The festival focuses on showcasing African and international artists across genres such as Afrobeats, Amapiano, RnB, Hip hop, Dancehall, and more. As well as the annual Portugal edition, Afro Nation has also since taken place in Ghana, Puerto Rico, Miami and Detroit.
Afro Nation as a festival and global cultural movement has evolved into a platform designed to amplify the voices of African artists worldwide. With past headliners like Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Megan Thee Stallion, 50 Cent, Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj, the festival has been bridging African music with the global stage.
Since 2019 the flagship Portugal festival has doubled in size, attracting 40,000 people from 140 countries worldwide, with 90% of festival goers travelling to the event from abroad.
The festival was nominated in the Best Overseas Festival category at the 2019 UK Festival Awards. In 2020, Billboard Magazine named Afro Nation as one of The Gatekeepers of the Nigerian music industry.
On 1 August 2019, Afro Nation (also marketed as Afro Nation Portugal) was established as a four-day annual music festival in Portimão, Portugal. Billed as the first festival to celebrate the African Diaspora, the event drew approximately 20,000 attendees daily and featured live music from Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Jamaica, the UK and the US. It was created to promote African music genres and provide a platform for artists across the diaspora.
On 13 December 2019, Afro Nation released its compilation mixtape curated by MOVES Recordings, titled Afro Nation, Vol. 1. The album features guest appearance from SMADE, Ice Prince, Slim Kofi, Lighter Tod, Joey B, Kuami Eugene, Medikal, Eddie Kadi, Bisa Kdei, Adekunle Gold, Oxlade, Reekado Banks, Eugy, Br3nya, and Terry Apala.
In 2020, the planned second editions of both Afro Nation Portugal and Afro Nation Ghana were postponed to 1 July 2022, and 29 December 2022, due to COVID-19.
On 26 September 2021, Afro Nation and Official Charts Company founded the official weekly UK Afrobeats Chart Show on BBC Radio 1Xtra, with host Eddie Kadi.
