Nigeria’s ultimate music icon, 2face Idibia and Democratic Republic of Congo’s female broadcaster and music presenter, Madinga Sona Maria are set to co-host the 2014 All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) awards. The ceremony will be held in Lagos, Nigeria on Saturday, December 27, 2014 at the prestigious grand ballroom of Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
AFRIMA’s Executive Producer, Mr Mike Dada; said: ‘The award ceremony is going to be explosive with 2Face and Madinga Sona Maria, two accomplished creative Africans, holding sway and guiding our distinguished guests and nominees through the programme. We promise to bring to Africa electrifying performances from our nominees and invited guest performers. Then add this to the famous faces and glamour of the African icons on the first- of- its-kind red carpet activity…It is going to be a spectacular show.’
Mandinga Sona Maria is a beauty to behold with a towering height of 1.78m. Mandiga, who looks every inch a model is the hottest female broadcaster in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo and her musical show, Cite de Star, is the biggest music show in her country. Rated as a combination of beauty and brains, Mandinga presents her musical show on Digital Congo Television and Radio and is also a performer.

The 2014 AFRIMA awards, in partnership with the African Union Commission, will be a carnival-like open concert of non-stop music, fanfare and fashion exhibition from countries across Africa with performances by various African artistes.
