New festival in Stockholm! Together with the restaurant Afrika, Luger presents Afrika Block Party – a full day focusing on culture from the African continent on August 25th at Förbindelsehallen in Stockholm. In addition to the headliners Omah Lay [NG] and King Promise [GH], performances will include Lekaye, Malik Dalasi, O!, Amirae & Asta, Emma Liambi. There will also be African and Afro-Caribbean street food, a market, and much more.

Nigeria is one of the most talked-about music countries in the world right now, and leading the way is Omah Lay. Despite only two years having passed since the highly acclaimed debut album ‘Boy Alone’ was released, the Lagos-based singer and producer has already become a key figure in the country's vibrant music scene. With his unique fusion of Nigerian highlife, R&B, hip-hop, and afrobeats, the innovative tenor soulfully and vulnerably sings about everything from his innermost darkness to romance in a way that is both striking and captivating. In 2023, the Nigerian superstar returned with the single ‘Holy Ghost,’ which is the first taste of the upcoming album that Lay himself says will mark the next chapter for afrobeats.

"Vibe supplier." That’s how King Promise describes his musical mission, and the vibes are undeniably present in his irresistible cocktail of afrobeats, R&B, highlife, and hip-hop. After building a loyal listener base in his hometown of Accra in Ghana via SoundCloud, his career has now become a global affair. This is evident in the guest list of his latest album ‘5 star,’ which features names like Chance the Rapper, Wizkid, Headie One, and tonight’s co-star Omah Lay. Since then, King Promise has continued to release compelling singles filled with his eagerly sincere storytelling, including last year's mega hits ‘Terminator’ and ‘Paris.’ We welcome one of Ghana's brightest stars to the Africa Block Party at Förbindelsehallen!
