As a way to encourage and foster cross-cultural creative exchange between Nigeria and the United States of America through hip-hop music and dance, the maiden Next Level programme, an initiative of the U.S. Department of State, has graduated its first set of 46 participants.

Speaking during the graduation ceremony held at the Freedom Park in Lagos, the U.S. Consul General, Will Stevens, said the world loves and admires the many talents produced on a regular basis in Nigeria. He added that the programme would afford both countries the opportunity to continue to share talents and boost the creative industry.

“In the last 70-years, America has benefited from the power of our culture as people look up to the United States because they think they know us through our culture, through our film, music and TV shows which give a slice of Americans to the world. “It is incredible how people are falling in love with Nigeria through music and film and I am so proud of this partnership, not just with culture but with business as well. So many Nigerians are reaching the world through YouTube and other streaming platforms and there is no limit to where talent can travel to in today’s world,” he added.

While in Nigeria, they conducted public concerts, had interactive performances with local musicians, lecture demonstrations, workshops, and jam sessions with diverse audiences.
