Rema, Seun Kuti, Amaarae and Tyla Set to Represent Africa at Coachella 2025
Nigerian music sensation Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, is powering up for a career milestone as he prepares to perform at the prestigious Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2025.
This marks the first time the Afrobeat superstar will take the stage at the globally renowned event, a significant achievement in his rapidly rising career.
Additionally, joining him on the lineup is fellow Nigerian artist and Afrobeat pioneer Seun Kuti, who is no stranger to the Coachella stage.
Known for keeping his late father Fela Kuti’s legacy alive through his music and activism, Seun’s return to Coachella is highly anticipated by fans of the genre.
The festival will also feature other African stars, including Ghanaian singer Amaarae, celebrated for her unique fusion of Afro-pop and R&B.
Also, South African sensation Tyla, whose energetic performances and distinctive sound continue to earn her international acclaim.
Their inclusion highlights the growing global influence of African music across genres.
Coachella, held annually in California, USA, is widely regarded as the world’s largest music and arts festival.
Attracting over 125,000 attendees per day, the event is a cultural melting pot, featuring performances by top global artists alongside immersive art installations and interactive experiences.
Rema, known for chart-topping hits like “Calm Down” and “Dumebi,” has been a driving force in the Afrobeat wave sweeping across the globe.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
