The week-long event concludes on Saturday 2 August with a concert bringing together a selection of UK’s finest African musicians. The confirmed line up includes Jamiroquai’s Sola Akingbola, Contemporary-Gospel sensation GK Real, Sierra-Leonean Harmonica player Leon Maddy, James Lascelles and traditional African classicist Tunde Jegede.
