Akon Performs, Thrills Crowd In Shillong

SHILLONG (ANI) – US singer Akon performed at the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival.

He did not leave any chance to mesmerize the audience on November 15 with his voice. From ‘Smack That’ to ‘Lonely’, Akon turned the crowd nostalgic by crooning his iconic songs.

He also took to Instagram and shared fans’ videos from his gig last night.

Akon captioned one of the images as, “@cherryblossomfest #india.”

His performance was followed by an electric show by the legendary group Boney M on their “Farewell Tour”.

The festival was inaugurated by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma in the presence of Union Minister of DoNER (Ministry of Development of Northeastern Region) Jyotiraditya Scindia and tourism minister of Meghalaya Paul Lyngdoh.

Earlier this year, Akon set the stage on fire with his special performance at the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. On day three of the gala event, Akon also performed his hit track ‘Chammak Challo’ from the sci-fi action thriller film ‘Ra. One’ which got superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan to shake a leg on the dance floor.
