MI has taken a
stand to express his wish to collaborate with legendary African artistes Hugh
Maskela and Salif Keita
He disclosed this while
responding to questions at the 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards announcement event at Cova
Lounge, Victoria Island, Lagos. The superstar rapper further
revealed that such collaborations are part of his ambition to connect the young
African audience to the older generation of African musicians.
In his words: ‘I think we have
done great in terms of creating a vibrant modern African music scene and the
young audience really connects with that, but it would really be great to be
able to connect the young audience with the older generation of African musicians.
‘Africa has such a rich musical
history and it would be a shame to lose part of that history. My next ambition
is to connect the younger audience with this older generation of African
musicians.’
The 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards
will take place in Durban, KwaZulu Natal in South Africa on July 18, 2015.
