Kendrick Lamar will headline a new festival from Global Citizen next month in Rwanda. The event, Move Afrika: Rwanda, is scheduled for December 6th at BK Arena in Kigali, the country’s capital. It's part of a Global Citizen initiative to bring job opportunities to Africa by introducing a live music touring circuit to the continent. New countries will be added to the touring schedule each year, with the organization aiming for at least five by 2025. “Our goal with Move Afrika is to inspire local youth and artists to unlock their creativity,” event organizers said of the inaugural festival. “We hope to curate an immersive experience that empowers various communities and cultures across Africa and around the world for a lifetime.” The regional artists joining Kendrick on the December 6th lineup will be announced soon.
