There will also be performances from local Afrobeat artists, including Potoski, who recently released his new single Owomida, and Dr. AKP, who will perform songs from his debut album, The Essay.
Dr. AKP said: “The night aims to bring together people from different backgrounds through music, dance and cultural exchange.
“Beyond the entertainment, the event reflects the growing diversity of Preston’s music scene and the increasing popularity of African and Asian music genres among local audiences.
“With Afrobeats continuing its global rise and more artists from the North West embracing the genre, events like this help showcase Preston as a city where different cultures can come together, collaborate, and be celebrated.
“We hope the event will help grow the local Afrobeat scene while creating opportunities for artists and audiences to connect.”
Afro Asian Fusion: Lagos to Seoul will take place on Saturday 11 July at Wonderwall. Tickets are available from TicketTailor.
