Lagos, Nigeria 6th September 2025  — Hafrikplay, Africa’s leading creator-first music streaming platform, is proud to announce its partnership with Creatives Hangout Lagos (CHL), a flagship event curated by Zest Management Alté (ZEMA). This collaboration underscores Hafrikplay’s unwavering commitment to amplifying African talent and building cultural experiences that empower artists, storytellers, and innovators.

At its core, CHL is designed to be more than a gathering—it’s a movement. It brings together musicians, visual artists, writers, producers, and fans in one space to connect, collaborate, and celebrate creativity in all its forms. The 2025 edition promises performances, games, panels, and networking opportunities that reflect the vibrancy of Nigeria’s creative economy.

“At Hafrikplay, we are all about the creatives,” said Abolaji Alaka, Co - Founder & COO of Hafrikplay. “This partnership with CHL gives us a chance to do what we love most—creating platforms for artists to shine, amplifying voices that deserve to be heard, and giving audiences an authentic connection to the next wave of African talent.”

For Chukuweneku Valentino Otuya, CEO of Zest Management Alté (ZEMA), the inspiration behind CHL was clear: “Creatives are the heartbeat of our culture, yet they often lack spaces to thrive. CHL was built to change that. Partnering with Hafrikplay, a brand equally passionate about discovery and empowerment, ensures that this year’s edition will be our most impactful yet.”
