Three top African musicians, Sarkodie, DarkoVibes, and King Promise, will give guests a special treat at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France, when they mount the ‘Station Afrique’ stage on the sidelines of the games on August 9, 2024.
All three acts, who are already unique in their style, would be hoping to boost their reputation on the international stage during showtime.
King Promise, for instance, recently pulled a massive crowd during his musical tour in Asia, and fans would be expecting a similar captivating performance as he delivers songs from his repertoire.
Rapper and Songwriter Darkovibes is also known for hit records like Inna Song, Je M’appelle, Stay Woke, which have all received good endorsement from fans over the years.
Station Afrique, designed as a fan zone at the Olympics, represents 54 National Olympic Committees in Africa, located in L’lle-Saint-Denis, at Stade Robert César, north of Paris. Events at the Centre began on July 20 and are expected to run until August 11, 2024.
