African Legends Night is back, and this time, it’s marking Heritage Month with a special campaign dedicated to celebrating the unforgettable celebration of African music. As the continent’s musical legacy takes center stage, the African Legends Night Heritage Month campaign promises to honor the diverse traditions and legacies that have shaped Africa’s musical landscape.
