7 Minutes with Chinedu Okeke

--:--
Unathi chats to Nigerian promotor and creator of Gidi Culture Festival in Lagos Nigeria, Chinedu Okeke. They speak about the growth of the festival since its inception in 2014, and the current challenges experienced in the live music and entertainment landscape.
As the force behind one of, if not the biggest cultural festivals on the continent, Chinedu is perfectly placed to discuss the growing local, continental and international appeal of continental talent and African Festivals, and whether we have venues big enough on to accommodate the ever growing audiences.
