Tayo Conga & The Tumbadora African Crew to Perform at Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) 2025 During Intra-African Trade Fair in Algiers
Afro-percussion is going global! Tayo Conga & the Tumbadora African Crew have just secured an official invite to perform at the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX), taking place during the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) 2025 in Algiers, Algeria.
From Lagos, Nigeria, to the global stage in Algiers, the crew will deliver electrifying African percussion rhythms, spotlighting how culture, creativity, and commerce intersect in today’s creative economy.
CANEX @ IATF isn’t just another festival—it’s Africa’s largest platform for creatives, visionaries, and innovators. It’s where culture meets business, where storytelling is powered by both tradition and technology, and where the creative industries are shaping the future of Africa’s economy and digital presence across the diaspora.
For Tayo Conga & the Tumbadora Crew, this performance is more than entertainment—it’s a tech-enabled cultural export, a fusion of rhythm, movement, and energy that represents Africa’s heartbeat on a global scale.
