D’Banj (@iamdbanj) and Big
Nuz (@BigNuz_Afro) are the latest urban megastars set to electrify
music fans at MTV Africa All Stars KwaZulu-Natal with Snoop Lion. The
first ever MTV Africa All Stars concert, staged by MTV Base (DStv Channel 322) and KwaZulu-Natal
Province, takes place at the Moses Mabhida Stadium (@MMStadium), People’s Park
in Durban on 18th May 2013.
Charismatic Nigerian singer-songwriter, D’Banj has
risen to stardom thanks to his innovative fusion of AfroBeat, AfroPop and
AfroFusion sounds, delivered in a combination of Yoruba, English and Pidgin
English. The self-styled “koko master” and multi-platinum selling
recording artist achieved global attention thanks to his 2012 smash-hit “Oliver
Twist”, which sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and debuted at number
9 on the UK National charts just behind the likes of Rihanna and Tulisa. Inspired
and influenced by the late AfroBeat maestro Fela Anikulapo Kuti, D’Banj has
won a host of awards including Best African Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards
2007, Artist of the Year at the MTV Africa Music Awards 2009, the BET Awards of
2011 for Best International Act and Best African Act at the 2012 MOBO Awards.
Fresh from their appearance at the MTV Africa
All Stars tour in Nairobi, Kenya are the undisputed kings of kwaito, Big
Nuz, the insanely talented trio that comprises Jojo (aka Mampintsha), Mzi (aka
Danger) and Sbu (aka R Mashesha). Since forming in 2002,these
award-winning Durban homeboys have confidently transformed the South
African dance music landscape, growing under the guidance of their mentor, DJ
Tira, and gracing innumerable clubs and stages at home and abroad with banging
dancefloor favourites such as “Umlilo”, “Ntombenhle”, “Serious” and “Newlands
West”.
