'' A Dream Come True '' Noella Wiyaala to Share Same Stage with Yvonne Chaka Chaka
A night of celebrating great African music, as top music stars will mount the stage of this year’s Vodafone African Legends Night at the Banquet Hall, State House, in Accra.
The show features the likes of Wiyaala, Amandzeba Nat Brew, Nana Tuffour and Akosua Agyapong, all of whom have promised to wow audience and to make a big statement since it is the first time that all four will be gracing the African Legends Night stage.
One of Ghana’s biggest music exports in recent time, Wiyaala has stated meeting and sharing the same stage with South African music star Yvonne Chaka Chaka at this year’s Vodafone African Legends Night is a dream come true.
The young and energetic Wiyaala (lioness of Africa), says she has been yearning to perform. According to her, the event connects very well with her genre of music which is seen to be truly Afro-pop fused with her African roots and contemporary world pop music.
The young energetic singer who described Yvonne as her idol
took to twitter to share her admiration for the Princess of Africa.
“It’s an honour to be supporting the Princess of Afropop YvonneChakaX2. #dreamscometrue,” wrote Wiyaala whose genre of music is seen to be truly Afro-pop fused with African roots and contemporary world pop music.
