The festival, running under the theme; Artistes Unite Against Early Marriages, will bring together artistes from different African countries to create awareness on child rights and campaign against early marriages.
Montana will share the stage with several top Zambian acts, including Amayenge, Maureen Lilanda, Kuza, Suwilanji and James Chamanyazi.
The Sara Ugarike hitmaker told NewsDay Life & Style yesterday that he was excited about the recognition.
“I feel honoured to be invited as a main performer where they have a great line-up of Zambian top musicians. It will be my first time performing there and I am really looking forward to it,” he said.
“The idea that I am also part of something meaningful to the Zambian community makes the whole experience special.”
Que Montana said gaining regional and international recognition was a long-cherished dream.
