Having made her mark through various endeavours in the corporate world, as Forbes described her as ‘Africa’s Most Successful Woman’, while CNN called as ‘Africa’s Queen of Media who conquered the continent’, Mosumola Abudu, known as Mo Abudu, on Thursday, May 29, took Lagos and the world by storm with her culinary sanctuary, The Afrobeat, the world’s first Afrobeats tribute restaurant at her iconic EbonyLife Place

  Nestled in the heart of Victoria Island, Lagos, and inspired by the spirit, rhythm, and soul of Afrobeats music, the groundbreaking restaurant is not just a place to dine but a living tribute to Africa’s most influential music genre.

  With its flavours and vibes, The Afrobeat EbonyLife Place is poised to redefine the dining and cultural experience of patrons and alike. The menu is a celebration of heritage, a harmonious fusion of traditional Nigerian flavours and diasporic influences. Each course — salad, soup, mains, and dessert — stands as a loving tribute to the bounty of the land, sourced from local farmers.

  The vibe of Afrobeats is summoned through memorabilia and music videos from iconic superstars, curated by music channel TRACE, an originator and promoter of the world-famous genre.

  The furniture is adorned in warm hues of red clay and terracotta, with textured walls of wood and mud, and Afro-futuristic chandeliers casting a soft glow. At one end of the room, a sculptured mask of an African king stands watch — a sentinel of identity and pride. At the other, an abstract mural comes alive, echoing the spirit of rhythm, rebellion, and renaissance

  “The Afrobeat is a reflection of who we are and what we value. This restaurant is a bold move to celebrate the culture, curate its story, and give it a home in the city where it was born,” said Mo Abudu, CEO of EbonyLife Place.
