Last week recording artist Karamanti was interviewed by well-known TV personality Serge Fattoh on the popular AfroNight Show which transmits across Europe and Africa via Telesud TV (Paris).
In an attempt to widen her fan base, Karamanti did a two and a half week promo tour in France –arranged by Nat&Elo Vibes – where she introduced dancehall and reggae lovers in that region to her style of music, by doing a series of live shows and radio interviews.
Though the entire tour is considered a success, Karamanti and her team are particularly excited about the feature on the AfroNight TV show because they are aware of its impact on both continents (Europe & Africa).The interview lasted for approximately thirty minutes and will air this coming week. Persons may watch the program via Telesud’s website: http://www.telesud.com/emission/afronight/
