Asake — Live in Toronto, 2026

Concert by Asake filmed in Toronto, Canada, in 2026. Born Ahmed Ololade, the Nigerian artist is one of the most striking voices of the new afrobeats wave, the movement from Nigeria that rose to global prominence during the 2020s. His music combines the rhythms of afrobeats and afropop with harmonies inspired by fuji and amapiano, and unifying choruses sung in Yoruba, English and Nigerian Pidgin. This filmed live concert illustrates the international enthusiasm for this scene, reaching the North American continent, before a won-over diaspora and audience. On stage, Asake unfolds a charismatic presence carried by backing vocals, percussion and an infectious dance energy characteristic of his performances. The capture conveys the festive atmosphere of a major concert and the fervour of an audience gathered to celebrate one of the most popular African artists of the moment. A full concert ideal for fans of world music, afrobeats and contemporary African sonorities, worth discovering to grasp the scale of a musical phenomenon that has become essential on the international stage.
