Africell mobile company has been a strong partner in promoting the emerging arts and entertainment industry. The award winning mobile company is collaborating with the most popular name in Sierra Leone music in the launching of the final ‘worldly’ album for the artist.
An observer who wants to remain anonymous said this is a win-win situation for both Jimmy B and Africell. He thanked the company for providing entertainment to Sierra Leonean at this difficult period.
Sierra Leoneans like to be entertained, especially during the festive season but the deadly Ebola virus which has claimed more than 1,500 lives in Sierra Leone has affected the industry greatly. The Government of Sierra Leone adopted some measures to stop the spread of the Ebola virus among which is to ban all public gathering.
This is the first time in more than a decade that no musical show will be organized at the National Stadium and elsewhere during the festive season.
The performance by Jimmy B and friends is expected to provide relief for the stressful Sierra Leonean populace.
