Enthusiasm As USA African Festival’s Second Edition Climax With Culture, Glamour

The second edition of the All African Festival USA concluded in a vibrant celebration of African heritage, leaving a lasting impression on residents and visitors from Fargo, North Dakota, and neighbouring parts of Minnesota.

This year’s closing ceremony was a feast of African art, music, dance, literature, and cuisine, offering audiences an immersive experience of the continent’s rich traditions. A standout highlight was the historical and spiritual performance honouring Sango Olukoso, the powerful Yoruba god of thunder and fire, whose dramatic presentation captivated the crowd.

The festival was organised by Asiwaju Olasunkanmi Olanrewaju, Chief Executive Officer of Signal Media Links International, a US based cultural advocate originally from Ibadan, Nigeria. Olanrewaju successfully brought together thousands of people to experience the vibrancy of Yoruba culture and the broader African community.

According to him, “We are thrilled to share the richness of Yoruba culture with the people of Fargo, North Dakota, and Minnesota. We believe cultural exchange is key to building stronger communities, and we are proud to be part of this effort.”

With its blend of glamour and authentic cultural expression, the All African Festival USA continues to provide a powerful platform for showcasing African traditions and fostering cross-cultural understanding.

Organizers are already looking ahead to the third edition, promising even more opportunities to share Africa’s diverse heritage with the world.

Thompson Leo and Baba Oloye Atawewe Join Forces on “Omo Tan So (Remix)

The Nigerian music scene is about to receive another major boost as Afrobeats talent Thompson Leo readies the release of his latest single, “Omo Tan So (Remix),” featuring none other than Fuji icon Baba Oloye Atawewe. Scheduled for release on the 10th of October, the collaboration is already buzzing across social platforms and promises to be one of the standout cross-genre releases of the year.

The clip, which shows Thompson Leo, Baba Oloye Atawewe, and respected media personality Alhaji Arems dancing joyfully to a snippet of the track, has not only ignited anticipation among listeners but also highlighted the unique chemistry behind the remix.

“Omo Tan So (Remix)” fuses the fresh, contemporary energy of Afrobeats with the timeless depth of Fuji, creating a soundscape that feels both familiar and innovative. It’s the kind of track designed to resonate widely — from young audiences who move to today’s Afro-rhythms to long-time lovers of Fuji music who cherish the genre’s cultural power.

For Thompson Leo, the release is more than just another single. It represents a new chapter in his artistry — one that pushes boundaries while respecting the traditions that continue to shape Nigerian sound. “This remix is special,” he explains. “It’s about connecting cultures, blending energies, and giving people something they can vibe to everywhere.”

The involvement of Baba Oloye Atawewe further elevates the track. Known for his commanding voice and enduring influence in Fuji music, Atawewe’s presence on the remix adds a legendary dimension, bridging generations and genres in a way that only Nigerian music can.

With Arems Entertainment actively championing the single’s rollout, “Omo Tan So (Remix)” is positioned not just as a release, but as a movement — one that reflects the collaborative spirit of the industry and the limitless possibilities of Afro-fusion.

Fans should mark their calendars: “Omo Tan So (Remix)” officially drops worldwide on the 10th of October across all major streaming platforms.
