The Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF 2025) in Algiers is widely known as a hub for business and trade. But this year, it also shined a spotlight on Africa’s most powerful resource—creativity.
Through the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX), the fair showcased how music, film, fashion, and visual arts are not just cultural expressions, but key industries driving Africa’s growth and global influence. CANEX provides a platform for talent, connects creatives with investors, and turns cultural exchange into economic opportunity.
This vision came alive on 5 September with the CANEX Mega Concert, hosted by Ivorian comedian Willy Dumbo. The show blended international icons with rising stars, delivering unforgettable performances:
1. Wizkid (Nigeria) lit up the stage with Afrobeats anthems.
2. DBN Gogo & Musa Keys (South Africa) brought irresistible Amapiano energy.
3. Innoss’B (DR Congo) electrified the crowd with his AfroCongo sound.
4. DJ Coco Em (Kenya) kept the night moving with Afro-electronic vibes.
5. El Besta Groupe & Mouh Milano (Algeria) proudly showcased local rhythms.
6. Jeverson (Grenada) added a global twist, proving African creativity resonates worldwide.
The Mega Concert wasn’t just entertainment, it was a statement. It showed that Africa’s stories, sounds, and style are ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with traditional industries and take their rightful place on the world stage.
