\u201cWith more of a mission than most regular festivals, the Afro Nation brand is the birth of super-sized global gathering, uniting thousands of music lovers around the world in a bid to further the Afrobeats movement and build a lasting platform for the artists and creatives at its core,\u201d the organisers said.<\/p>\n

As part of the festival\u2019s core programming, a number of parties have been planned in Accra from 28 December, starting with the Piano People Welcome Party and ending with a New Year\u2019s Eve special on 31 December.<\/p>\n

In March, the brand partnered with Billboard to launch the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs chart. It is also credited for initiating<\/a> the weekly Official Afrobeats Chart<\/a> on BBC Radio 1Xtra, a move fueled by the genre\u2019s growing global acceptance in recent years.<\/p>\n
