Davido, Ice Prince for Kenyan Boombata

I'm not even sure what Boombata means, but I'm told it’s something like "welcome to a celebration".

Next month, in the same vein, Nairobi will be welcoming Nigerian stars Davido and Ice Prince for the inaugural Boombata Festival, organized by Chocolate City Kenya and Adrenalive.

It will be Davido’s first visit to a Kenyan stage, while Ice Prince will be making a come-back.
It is thought that Davido will be coming into Kenya fresh from a performance in Uganda, but that is yet to be confirmed. Ice Prince on the other hand will have just wound up a tour of North America, which will take him through Houston, Dallas, LA, Atlanta and Toronto among several other cities.
Boombata is a series of festivals in Kenya aimed at celebrating African music, and on 27 July the fete will also kick off with a performance by Kenyan Chocolate City Girl Victoria Kimani.

The award winning Ice Prince is on the same label as Victoria, but Davido has his own record label - HKN Music.

Princess Fifi Ejindu Talks Exclusively on Africa Arts and Fashion Banquet at The Dorchester Presented by Africa Fashion Week London

With six weeks left to the biggest African fashion extravaganza outside of Africa that is Africa Fashion Week London 2013 scheduled for 1-3 August 2013 at Old Truman Brewery, AFWL patron Princess Fifi Ejindu has given us an exclusive sneak peek at another grand event as part of the week that is Africa Arts and Fashion Banquet to be held at The Dorchester Hotel on Sunday, 4 August 2013.

The first edition of African Arts and Fashion Banquet supported by the AFWL patron, Abuja-based businesswoman, architect and philantrophist, Princess Fifi Ejindu will see leading dignitaries, first ladies, celebrities, designers and business people both from Africa and Diaspora attend this exclusive event at the prestigious venue.

Speaking of the event and her support to Africa Fashion Week London 2013, Princess Fifi Ejindu said:

“I believe Africa Fashion Week London is a great platform for African talent and a great opportunity for Africa to showcase the talent that we possess. The era of the hungry African child is long over and it is now time for our culture to be recognized globally.”

“With this event we intend to raise start-up funds for emerging talent and tuition fees for extremely talented designers, hence in a way we are empowering the youth of Africa. While some have the opportunity and the funds to start their fashion labels, many others have no one to give them an opportunity or the funds they need. We have all the natural resources and all the talent in Africa but we should not leave it just to our leaders to help progress. If each of us were to sweep our own doorstep, the world would become a cleaner place. Therefore, this is our way to help emerging talent to a global platform and the funds they need,” Ejindu added.

Not giving away too much about what is sure to be a spectacular debut event, Ejindu also hinted that the African Arts and Fashion Banquet will play host to the crème de la crème of African dignitaries and VIPs. “We have some First Ladies of Nigeria already confirm their attendance.” Ejindu says, “Also the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Mr. Edem Duke who has given his endorsement to the event will be in attendance.”

Sources have revealed that the foundation will be empowering three best students who are able to do justice to the topic earlier sent to the participating schools.

According to Joy Egbunu, CBF event resource person, the event shall introduce Charlyboy’s 63rd birthday, which holds on 19 June. According to Joy, the empowerment scheme almost coincides with the brands birthday, an indication that the best way to mark someone’s birthday is to affect a life. Speaking on the significance of the essay topic, Chizoba Okpara, CBF Progamme Officer said, the topic, “Let no one kill your dream” is significant to the lives of these young ones who may have started battling with career choice already. Charlyboy’s continuous zeal of holding onto his dream is worthy of emulation, hence the topic. ‘

The event is being supported by AIT, Indomie, 7up, Mr. Biggs, Alliance for Credible Elections, Imperialinc Concepts Ltd, Ropopo water, Drumstix, Halogen and DJ Emmy.
