ABOUT MOFASA VILLAGE
Mofasa Village is a Mofasa Productions concept that celebrates culture and set to promote cultural, social and economic integration amongst countries through the performance of live/life music. With Mofasa Village, we take people above the realm of 'fun' into an atmosphere of happiness. Like the past concerts of Mofasa Village (such as "Afroniceness" , Reggae & Highlife night, and "A night in Nigeria") people get a vibe and an atmosphere that is truly authentic through the performance of live cultural music.
These cultural performances such as West African Highlife bring innovating rhythms to the music scene in Europe. However music that is rooted in its culture is not just rhythmical : the soul of the music is gotten from the lyrical content. This is to say that people dance to the true understanding of what the music represents. Morals, values and culture is our armoury against that which has misled us from ‘living’ into ‘existing. Mofasa village intends to promote this understanding through an authentic representation of each and every culture.
