After headlining the AfroFuture Festival in Ghana, ASAKE takes center stage once again as AfroFuture—the innovative brand from Culture Management Group LLC expands its celebration of African creativity with the launch of its latest experience property, CURATED BY CULTURE (CBC). This January, South African audiences will experience ASAKE LIVE, an electrifying, intimate performance set to redefine what live African music can be.
CURATED BY CULTURE represents the next evolution of AfroFuture’s vision — a series designed to celebrate African artistry and lifestyle through live, curated events that connect fans directly with the continent’s genre-defining musicians. While AfroFuture Festival in Ghana remains the brand’s flagship cultural celebration, and Culture Beach Jam brings coastal music adventures, CURATED BY CULTURE focuses on crafting bold, immersive experiences with Africa’s brightest stars.
For the first time, Johannesburg will host the electrifying presence of Afrobeats superstar ASAKE, bringing his signature energy, storytelling, and genre-blending sound to South African stages. From hits like Lonely at the Top, Organise, and the Amapiano-infused Sungba, the concert promises a fusion of Afrobeats and Amapiano rhythms, dynamic choreography, and world-class production — all hallmarks of the AfroFuture creative universe.
“South Africa has always been a global hub of music and culture; its rhythms, energy, and people resonate far beyond the continent,” says Abdul Karim Abdullah, CEO and Co-Founder of AfroFuture. “With CURATED BY CULTURE, we aim to create experiences that celebrate Africa’s cultural powerhouses. Launching in Johannesburg with Asake felt natural — bold, unapologetic, and deeply rooted in Africa’s rhythm.”
