“The Voice Africa” will premiere globally on March 26 on free-to-air channels across the continent. Airtel Africa which is the title sponsor for the show has partnered with FAME studios Africa to air the programme on Airtel TV in all its markets. The company is present in 14 countries across Africa.

 

“The Voice Africa” will follow the format of the global show, “The Voice”, starting out with blind auditions, battle rounds, knockouts, playoffs and conclude with live shows.

 

Registration for participation began in 2022 and has since received 78,804 registrations from Nigeria, Kenya, Seychelles, Tchad, Uganda, Congo, Zambia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Gabon, Madagascar, Malawi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

Out of these, 12,308 talents have been selected for auditions and a total of 100, seven per country in addition to two wild cards, were chosen to proceed to the live shows in Lagos, Nigeria.

 

The show will run for 25 weeks, airing one show per week, with the first shows running the blind auditions based solely on the talents’ voices and not looks.

 

“The Voice Africa” is expected to attract both a pan-African and global audience, featuring a high-profile panel of coaches and TV hosts who will witness one of the 100 selected talents eventually crowned “The Voice Africa”.

 

Anthony Shiner, Group Chief Commercial Officer of Airtel Africa, said “We are thrilled to finally bring Africa’s exceptional musical talents to the world through the continent’s version of the global award-winning show, “The Voice”.

 

“The Voice Africa” will display African musical talent, delivering excitement and entertainment to millions across the world, whilst showcasing amazing voices, performances, and intrigues. It is an opportunity to celebrate and contribute to Africa’s musical scene through real-life stories of resilience, persistence, struggle, and success that some of you can relate to and will undoubtedly impact your lives.”

For the guesses, extreme left I think it's Fally Ipupa/Psquare(mostly I think it's Fally since they can't have more than one coach from the same country i.e Yemi and Psquare) and extreme right could be Yemi Alade.

Yeah. I believe they'll post the full episodes on youtube as they always do. Also on Airtel tv app. I'm not sure if someone outside those countries can download, or use a vpn to watch.

You didn't miss much. The blinds will start next week and so they didn't announce the coaches. It was introduction in the first episode and some talks etc explaining about the voice.

Lol, I'm not from Africa so I don't know many African artists! I was for some reason expecting someone like Angelique Kidjo! Also, on Youtube, on singing competition videos, I see a guy named Sing Torres comment a lot. Is this you?

I was excited when they announced the voice africa. At least one that includes my country. I'm eager to see how it's gonna run for the next 25 weeks. Is that the longest a voice show has ever run. It'll probably end in September
