NIGERIAN French singer and songwriter Asa will headline the MTN Bushfire 2019.
The Nigerian star will share the stage with South Africa’s Moonchild who has been confirmed.
This was confirmed by Bushfire Communication Officer Wandile Dlamini through a press statement yesterday.
“The Nigerian and French singer is known for her soulful voice, powerful lyrics and according to some, “With her dread-locked hair, quirky glasses and guitar, she earned a place as the de-facto patron saint of the cerebral, boho-chic Nigerian,” said Dlamini.

MTN Bushfire is a living, breathing ecosystem deeply rooted in African soil, yet inclusive and welcoming to guests from all over the world. MTN Bushfire will continue to reflect the festival’s distinctly African ethos, with a strong focus on regional music, culture, and arts.
Nairobi-based ‘Blinky’ Bill Sellanga and MTN SWAMA Lifetime Achievement Award winner Smiles Mandla Makama has been added to the line-up as well.
“Makama is an elder statesmen of the Swati music scene and has opened for the likes of Salif Keita and featured on Manfred Mann’s Earth Band.
His most notable instrument is the Smilerphone, a great innovation of the traditional Makhoyane Bow,” continued the statement.
