Ayan De First has performed at the Queen’s Birthday celebration and he has had the opportunity of showing Prince Charles how to play the talking drum.
In a chat with African Voice, the global cultural Icon, Ayan De First relaying his experience on stage with Madonna said, ‘performing with and for Madonna is a wonderful opportunity and achievement. It is a feeling of great pleasure to mingle with celebrities and dignitaries, but this for me is a sensational success.’
