"After Covid-19, Africa will be great, Africa will be strong. Together we are unbeatable," Malian kora star and hip-hop artist Sidiki Diabate said at the launch of the virtual concert.The event was modelled after the "One World: Together At Home" concert in April that brought together Taylor Swift and the Rolling Stones playing from their homes.
"I never thought in a million years I'd see Youssou sing on a Coldplay track," viewer Awacham tweeted. "Africa is a continent of rich history, culture uniqueness and dynamism. Africa must rise above this as we have done with every previous challenge," said Rawlings.Africa is so far coping with the global health crisis better than expected and has recorded around 115,000 Covid-19 cases and 3,500 deaths."How sad to be stuck in the land of joy and good humour," joked French-born Tunisian comedian Samia Orosemane, who is currently in Ivory Coast due to the pandemic.
