Naija To The World announce extra dates for World Tour

Organisers of the forthcoming Naija To The World Concert have announced that there will be additional dates and locations for the historic entertainment and culture showcase.

The maiden concert originally billed to be held on September 16, 2023, at the iconic Apollo Theatre in New York City is now being moved forward, to accommodate new programming, additional talents, multiple cities, and venue partners.

According to Buckwyld Media CEO, Efe Omorogbe, the entire project will now take on a dynamic new format, following overwhelming interest from across Nigeria, and influential cultural entities around the world.

“We are humbled by the overwhelming interest in N2TW, and have taken the decision to expand the project, involve more partners, and talents, and add new cities to make sure that we deliver a showcase Nigerians will be proud of.

“Our vision is to make Naija to the World a cultural phenomenon that transcends borders,” Omorogbe stated, adding “We want to provide an inaugural event that not only celebrates
incredible talents emerging from the Niger Delta but also captures the essence of its unique stories and heritage. We’re looking to introduce more dates and a new format for the concert, and by doing so, we aim to deliver a truly immersive cultural experience.”

Conceptualised by Buckwyld Media Networks and BHM, the concert is designed to provide an alternative narrative to the stories out there about Nigeria and Nigerians and to provide a platform for other aspects of the Nigerian lore, culture, and experiences to travel and thrive, as Nigerian music and film continue to go mainstream.

The project is expected to put names, faces, and links to some of the biggest art to emerge from Nigeria over the past 100 years, with confirmed talents already including singers Timi Dakolo, Omawumi, Timaya, KCee, and pantomimic dance group Seki Dance Drama.

A full schedule of programmes, talents, partners, cities, and venues will be announced in New York on September 16.
