On May 26, on the sidelines of International Africa Day, the WAN (Worldwide Afro Network) project will once again bring together artists, leaders, and innovators to celebrate the continent.
The event will once again take place digitally, on social media with the hashtags #JeSuisWan and #IAmWan.
All those involved in this 2.0 show are committed to showcasing a creative Africa, an Africa that is moving forward, and to engaging in collective reflection on the future.
Africans, people of African descent (Caribbean, Indian Ocean, and the Americas), and changemakers from around the world will come together under one banner with personalities such as Tiken Jah Fakoly
, Moko, Tori Reid, Noella Coursaris Musunka, Harry Roselmack, Ayodele, FIOR 2 BIOR, and Kali Kamga.
The program will include virtual concerts and round tables on the themes of sport, education, and inclusion.
The WAN Show project is the brainchild of Amobé Mévègué, who passed away on September 8, 2021, at the age of 52.
An audiovisual producer, he was the founder and CEO of the Ubizznews television channel, available in Africa and Europe via satellite. He was also active in the world of Afro media in France, having worked since the 1980s for the first diaspora radio stations, Tabala FM and Tropic FM.
Amobé was also named the most widely broadcast African journalist on the continent, producing and hosting programs broadcast on RFI, TV5Monde, Canal France International, MCM Africa, France 0, France 24, and other public and private channels on the continent.
He joined the TV5Monde team in 2002 as presenter of the music magazine program "Acoustic," in which he interviewed the biggest names in international music.
Finally, in May 2020, he launched the WAN project, which brought together for the first time around 100 artists, leaders, and innovators from Africa, the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, and the Americas for a 2.5-hour show broadcast on television thanks to the network of public and private channels brought together by the African Broadcasting Union.
