2011 will go down as the best Africa Night year so far. We had try-outs in Maastricht and Almere which did not really work out. We also welcomed Nijmegen as a permanent member of the Africa Night family. Africa Night Tilburg, where it all started, grew even more. So much so that in 2011, if there were less than 250 people in Tilburg, we thought it was an average evening! We know of several Africa-themed shows in The Netherlands that would kill for 250 guests!
We are always grateful for the people who come to our shows. We do it with lots of love and we get tons of love back. Africa Night Nijmegen was the surprise packet of the year. With a short time to prepare but with great help from many of our well-wishers, ANN just took Nijmegen by storm. It is as if we have been there forever. Our heartfelt appreciation to all who helped with the flyers, the mouth-to-mouth advertisement and assisted in finding a good location for Africa Night Nijmegen.
In 2011 Africa Night got some very stiff competitions from several angles and corners. We generally succeeded in holding our own. We have learnt that staying true to our values is always appreciated by our ever growing patrons. We never copy others and when the others do try and copy our concept, we just accept the compliments. Africa Night celebrated 13 years of existence in 2011. It was a great party. So also the December shows in Tilburg and Almere where guests got some cute presents in form of a CD and/or a DVD. Nijmegen will be next in January! It is our way of saying thank you for making Africa Night the biggest of its kind in The Netherlands.
The year 2012 promises to even be better and full of more pleasant surprises. Watch out for the Africa Night Specials coming to various cities around you and the first Africa Night Music Festival amongst the new initiatives that will bring Africa closer to the lovers. We are happy to be at the forefront of this new and exciting dawn of African entertainment in The Netherlands and beyond.
