Just like in the days and spirit of late Fela Anikulapo Kuti, an Afrobeat band, Bita Kola, dished out the popular legend’s songs while performing at the climax of the Francophonie festival.

Every year, members of the French-speaking community gather to celebrate French life, culture, and traditions.
