Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Asake, has achieved another remarkable milestone by becoming the first African artist to headline the U.S. edition of Red Bull Symphonic. The historic performance took place on Saturday at the prestigious Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York.
The show featured a 33-piece orchestra that gave a classical twist to some of Asake’s biggest hits, including “Lonely at the Top” and “Terminator.” The fusion of Afrobeats and symphonic music created a unique experience that captivated the sold-out audience.
Asake was also joined by surprise guest performers such as Wizkid, Gunna, Central Cee, Tiakola, and Fridayy, who shared the stage with him on collaborative tracks like “MMS” and “Happiness.”
In a special moment, Asake thrilled fans by previewing an unreleased song from his forthcoming album, Mr. Money, further heightening anticipation for its release.
The event marks a major cultural milestone, showcasing how Afrobeats continues to transcend boundaries and blend seamlessly with global sounds.
