Some of Africa’s biggest names in
African contemporary music are set to perform as part of the BET Experience at
L.A. LIVE for the first time ever. Nigerian singer-songwriter Tiwa Savage,
South African Afro-pop duo Mafikizolo and Ghanaian hip hop artist Sarkodie will
perform as part of the “Music Around the Globe” presentation on Saturday 28
June. The three artists are all nominated in the “BET Awards” ‘Best
International Act: Africa’ category.

This will be the first time that
Mafikizolo and Tiwa Savage have performed in the United States, and the
announcement follows their wins at the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMAs) earlier
in the month in the ‘Best Group’ and ‘Best Female’categories respectively.
Sarkodie also took home a MAMA for ‘Best HipHop’.

In addition, Nigerian hip hop
superstar Ice Prince, who won the 2013 BET Award for ‘Best International Act:
Africa’, will also take to the stage on Sunday 29 June: he will also present
the award for the same category to this year’s winner at the BET Awards.
This is the first time international
acts have performed as part of the BET Experience at L.A. LIVE since the
introduction of international BET Award categories, ‘Best International Act:
Africa’ and ‘Best International Act: UK’ in 2010.
