Cameroonian Afropop sensation Mr. Leo capped off a remarkable week in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, with a headline-grabbing performance at the Marché des Arts du Spectacle Africain (MASA), one of the continent's most prestigious performing arts festivals. The singer, known for his signature blend of makossa, afrobeats and R&B, described the outing as one of the most emotionally rewarding of his career.
