Koffi Olomide pulls out of Luanda concert!Congolese legendary musician, Koffi Olomide was set to perform at the Saudade festival on Saturday at the Cidadela pavilion in Luanda, the Angolan capital. Surprisingly, the multi-award winning African superstar pulled out at the last minute.

When the organizer of the event, Adão Filipe was contacted, he said that the Congolese star had agreed to perform at the event but pulled out to every Luanda residents’ surprise due to "pesrsonal" reasons. Since Koffi Olomide is a headliner in any Africa city, his performance in the Angolan capital was highly anticipated. The singer has sold out many venues in major cities around the world that include: London, Paris, Brussels, NewYork, Johannesburg, Kinshasha, Nairobi, Dar-es-Salam and a lot more.  

Angolan acts Tabanka Jazz, Livity, Kassav, África Negraa and Livity expressed disappointment at the absence of the Congolese musician.
