What better way to do this then with some of Africa and the worlds most talented artists.”

The Bank Holiday Festival,AFRICA UNPLUGGED is surely the first event of its kind to take place in the UK as its bringing different nations together all for the purpose to achieve a mission for Africa. The Africa Unplugged festival is more than just an event for entertainment, but an event which aims to raise awareness of the struggles within african nations facing challenges such as Poverty,Malaria,War,Genocide,HIV/Aids,the lack of access to clean water and many more struggles that the continent has suffered from.

“We want to educate, motivate and inspire all by shedding light on the plight of Mother Africa, and the issues she faces (Genocide, Poverty, Corruption, War, HIV, Water shortage and Malaria). We will also celebrate the spirit of Africa through music, comedy and dance.” – Atoba (CEO)

From this event the Africa Unplugged team are hoping that that their vision for Africa is achieved. The organisers saw everyday challenges that Africa bares and were inpsired to organise an event that will help the continent therefore a substantial portion of proceeds from the concert will go to support and address theses challenges Africa faces.

As these dedicated individuals have come together to create an event that we all will not forget , come support and help Africa rise, together we can make a change for Africa and make history.
