The Madaraka Festival, which was sponsored by Amazon, Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, KEXP and other organizations and headlined by D’Banj in 2022 exceeded expectations. The 2023 festival is uniquely curated to empower cultural diversity and inclusion across the African diaspora in Seattle and across the United States with an aim of reaching more than 30 million people online. Madaraka Festival has deepened the relationship between African and African American communities, and fostered partnerships with other global communities while shifting narratives and honoring cultural dynamics.
In 2023, One Vibe Media will be hosting a series of concerts across the United States which will culminate in Seattle. The concert will be a celebration of community and culture bringing together different African musicians such as Sauti Sol, Eddy Kenzo, King Kaka, Draze, Anthony Cole, and other award winning and influential artists. One Vibe Media is dedicated to giving part of the proceeds from the Madaraka Festival 2023 to One Vibe Africa, MAMA HOPE, and Refugee Artisan Initiative who through their work are supporting community-led change and impacting over 3.5 million people in the United States and Africa.
