Madaraka 2017’s theme is “African Music & Fashion” that features performances and a runway fashion show on one stage! The goal of the theme is to showcase African Music & Fashion and help change the narrative of the stereotype people hold about not taking African Music & Fashion seriously, by showing it in a different light. Madaraka Festival 2017 will also feature the premier of Madaraka The Documentary, a powerful short film about empowering our communities through the arts and entrepreneurship.
some of the performing artistes at the event include Rocky Dawuni from Ghana, Otieno Terry from Kenya, Meklit Ethiopia and Chimurenga renaissance from Zimbabwe.
