The Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known by his stage name Rema, will perform at the Pearl of Africa Festival, Afropalooza, which takes place from October 7 to October 9th this year at the Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala, Uganda.
Rema will be in the country courtesy of Talent Africa, making it his second visit to the Pearl of Africa. He first came to Uganda in December 19, 2019, for the Ciroc Pop Night Grand Finale.
This time he is back for what is being dubbed “the biggest African festival,” Afropalooza, which will be unveiled as a snowstorm of confetti marks Uganda’s 60th year of independence.
