Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Asake has made history by becoming the first African artist to headline the U.S. edition of Red Bull Symphonic, held at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre on Saturday night.
The sold-out concert featured a breathtaking performance alongside a 33-piece orchestra, blending Afrobeats rhythms with classical symphony to reimagine his biggest hits, including “Lonely at the Top” and “Terminator.”
The night took an electrifying turn when surprise guests Wizkid, Gunna, Central Cee, Tiakola, and Fridayy joined Asake on stage for live renditions of “MMS” and “Happiness,” highlighting the global reach and unity of contemporary African music.
Asake also gave fans a sneak peek into his upcoming album “Mr. Money,” performing an unreleased song that reflects on faith, perseverance, and hard work themes central to his inspiring rise in the global music scene.
With this historic performance, Asake continues to solidify his position as one of Africa’s most innovative and boundary-pushing artists, taking Afrobeats to new heights on the world stage.
