Ghanaian rapper Black Sherif and AfroPop singer Ayra Starr have been announced as the only Africans performing at Pharrell William’s “Something in the Water“ concert this year.
The event is slated to hold at Virginia beach from the 28th to the 30th of April and will feature great musical performances, hit-packed DJ sessions, and a lot more.
The event last year had Davido and Adekunle Gold from Nigeria as the only Africans who made the lineup.
For many reasons, the festival is considered one of the biggest festivals to look forward to, as they will be performing alongside some of the biggest superstars from around the world.
This is a big platform for both talents to further showcase their talent and gain new ground as well.
This fit is even better because Blacko as a rapper from Ghana, west Africa will get to share the big stage with some of the biggest stars from around the world and Ayra is also not left out of this joy.

The continuous success of these young stars leaves a lasting smile on the face of every African music lover. Things were not always this easy, as it use to take a longer industry time for African artists to get called to festivals of this nature. Black Sherif and AfroPop singer Ayra Starr are culture shifters.
Blacko is still basking in the honor of dropping one of the biggest Hip-hop projects last year, while Ayra Starr on the other hand has been riding an endless wave of dropping chart-topping hit singles. They also both featured on the “Creed 3” album tracklist, another great fit for both of them.
Black Sherif and AfroPop singer Ayra Starr are definitely stars to watch out for this year. You can continue to enjoy their songs while you look forward to seeing them at the festival later next month.
