On October 16, 2024, Afrobeats sensation Rema took the stage at Zepp Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, thrilling a packed crowd of 2,500 fans with an electrifying performance. The sold-out concert highlighted Rema’s rising prominence on the global music scene, as attendees sang along to his hit tracks.
This event followed his headline act at the Eden Festival in New Zealand, where he shared the spotlight with fellow Afrobeats stars Tiwa Savage and Ruger. Rema’s remarkable achievements, particularly with his record-breaking single “Calm Down,” which became the first Afrobeat song to hit 1 billion streams on Spotify and topped the MENA chart, have solidified his status as a major player in the music industry.
With the release of his second album, “HEIS,” aiming to return Afrobeats to its sonic roots, Rema continues to push boundaries. He’s also submitted the album for Grammy consideration, hoping to secure his first nomination. As Rema conquers international stages, is he paving the way for a new era of Afrobeats?
