D’Banj (@iamdbanj) and Big Nuz (@BigNuz_Afro) are the
latest urban megastars set to electrify music fans at MTV Africa All
Stars KwaZulu-Natal with Snoop Lion.
The first ever MTV Africa All Stars concert, staged
by MTV Base (DStv
Channel 322) and KwaZulu-Natal Province, takes place at the Moses Mabhida
Stadium (@MMStadium), People’s Park in Durban on 18th May 2013.
Charismatic Nigerian singer-songwriter, D’Banj has risen to
stardom thanks to his innovative fusion of AfroBeat, AfroPop and AfroFusion sounds,
delivered in a combination of Yoruba, English and Pidgin English. The self-styled “koko master” and multi-platinum
selling recording artist achieved global attention thanks to his 2012 smash-hit
“Oliver Twist”, which sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and debuted at
number 9 on the UK National charts just behind the likes of Rihanna
and Tulisa. Inspired and influenced by the late AfroBeat maestro
Fela
Anikulapo Kuti, D’Banj has won a host of awards
including Best African Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007, Artist of the
Year at the MTV Africa Music Awards 2009, the BET Awards of 2011 for Best
International Act and Best African Act at the 2012 MOBO Awards.
Fresh from their appearance at the MTV
Africa All Stars tour in Nairobi, Kenya are the undisputed kings of
kwaito, Big Nuz, the insanely talented trio that comprises Jojo
(aka Mampintsha), Mzi (aka Danger) and Sbu (aka R Mashesha). Since forming in 2002, these
award-winning Durban homeboys have
confidently transformed the South African dance music landscape, growing under
the guidance of their mentor, DJ Tira, and gracing innumerable clubs
and stages at home and abroad with banging dancefloor favourites such as “Umlilo”,
“Ntombenhle”, “Serious” and “Newlands West”.
D’Banj and Big
Nuz join Snoop Lion (@SnoopLion), Fally Ipupa (@fallyipupa), Professor (@professorkalawa), 2Face
(@2faceidibia), Flavour (@2niteFlavour) and Zakes Bantwini (@ZakesBantwiniSA) on the
bill for the concert. Additional
exciting artists will be announced shortly.
