Nigerian-born, Italy-based musician Charles Onyeabor has recorded another major milestone in his growing international career following the successful second edition of The Charles Onyeabor Show, held on Saturday, October 3, at Hard Rock Cafe in Florence, Italy.
The event, which returned to the same venue following the success of its inaugural edition, was a sold-out affair, with music lovers turning out for a night of energetic performances, entertainment and a celebration of African music and culture in the heart of Florence.
Fresh from the release of his new album, Legacy Continua, Charles took centre stage with a commanding performance that moved between new material and fan favourites from his catalogue. Backed by an enthusiastic audience, the singer delivered a performance that reflected his distinctive fusion of Afrobeat, Afro-funk and other global influences.
The night also featured performances from an international lineup of artists including Danypreez, Emmiboy, Big Wailz, Lil Madd, Young Game, Italian-born Nigerian musician Tommy Kuti, and rapper Vas Angelov, giving the concert a diverse mix of sounds and cultures.
