Just after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on Tuesday, July 3, as part of his two-day official visit to Nigeria, French President Emmanuel Macron visited the famous New Afrika Shrine.
Founded by legendary musician Fela Kuti, Macron visited the shrine to officially launch the 2020 Season of African Cultures in France.
The highly successful and entertaining event also saw notable public figures as well as popular African musicians including Angelique Kidjo, Youssou N’dour, Asa, Femi Kuti and a host of others in attendance.
From showing off his dancing skills to having a go at playing a drum together with the performers and being highly impressed with a portrait of him which was drawn by a very talented 11-year old artist, we can definitely tell President Macron had a great time!
Take a look at some photos of the event below:
