Afrobeats superstar Wizkid was greeted with a warm, royal welcome upon his arrival in the Dominican Republic, where he is set to headline the World Creole Music Festival. Videos of his arrival, which have since gone viral, show the Nigerian singer being serenaded by a traditional troupe of drummers, decked out in vibrant cultural attire, creating a grand and festive atmosphere at the airport.
The World Creole Music Festival, scheduled from October 25-27, 2024, at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium, promises an unforgettable lineup, with Wizkid being the major draw for the event. His presence adds even more excitement to the festival, which blends a variety of musical styles from across the globe.
Wizkid’s first time in the Dominican Republic!
This is not Wizkid’s first time in the Dominican Republic. In 2016, he and British rapper Tinie Tempah shot the music video for their hit collaboration Mamacita on the island, creating a lasting connection with the locale. His return to headline such a significant event further highlights Wizkid’s global appeal and the expanding reach of Afrobeats.
In addition to his concert appearances, Wizkid is making waves on the music charts with his latest single, which is topping various charts globally. His new song, a vibrant fusion of Afrobeats and contemporary sounds, is just a taste of what’s to come. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of his highly anticipated album, slated for November 22, 2024. The upcoming project is expected to showcase Wizkid’s continued evolution as a global music icon, further solidifying his place in the international music scene.
With his upcoming album and major festival performances, including the World Creole Music Festival, Wizkid continues to be a defining figure in global music, representing the growing influence of Afrobeats on the world stage.
His return to the Dominican Republic is particularly special due to his past connection with the country, where he filmed the popular music video Mamacita alongside Tinie Tempah in 2016. His relationship with the Dominican audience, combined with the rise of Afrobeats globally, has only strengthened over the years. His enthusiastic welcome with traditional drummers at the airport reflects his iconic status and the island’s love for his music.
