Mixta Africa sponsors Wakaa! The Musical in London's West End

Mixta Africa has signed up as Lead Sponsor of Wakaa! The Musical in London's West End.

Wakaa! is an original African export "that tells the African story, the African way". It illustrates the current reality of the typical African youth who is looking for a way out of Africa and failing to see the opportunities that exist in his own country.

"When BAP Productions approached us about their intention to take Wakaa to the global stage, it was easy for us to connect with", say Mixta, a leading real estate development company in Nigeria, "firstly, because we want to support the arts, an industry with immense potentials. Our support also demonstrates what Mixta Africa is about: harnessing opportunities, which we do by building communities across Africa".

Wakaa! The Musical, the brainchild of the multi-award winning Bolanle Austen-Peters, is a play about the trials, successes and experiences of young graduates from varied backgrounds. The story reveals the struggle and challenge young people face in present day Africa and abroad. WAKAA! The Musical takes its audience on an emotional roller coaster and is a strong satire of African politics.

Nigeria's first musical export to London will run from July 21st to 25th at the Shaw Theatre on the Euston Road in London's West End, with a total of seven shows running across the five days.

As part of the sponsorship, Mixta Africa will be hosting a Real Estate Investment Cocktail Party on the 22nd at the Pullman Hotel. In addition, Mixta Africa will be hosting Africans living in London on the 31st July, 2016 at a family fun day event which promises to be a home away from home.
