Nigerian global sensation Tems is set to make history as she headlines AFROPUNK Brasil 2025 in Salvador, Bahia, marking one of the most significant moments yet for Afrobeats’ growing influence in Latin America.
The Free Mind singer will take the main stage on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at the Parque de Exposições de Salvador. She joins an impressive, culturally diverse lineup that includes Jamaican dancehall icon Sister Nancy and acclaimed Brazilian acts BaianaSystem, Liniker, and MC Luanna.
A Defining Global Moment
For Tems, whose career has been defined by her genre-blending sound and soulful performances, the AFROPUNK stage represents another defining moment in her global journey. The festival is renowned for celebrating Black creativity, identity, and resistance, serving as the perfect platform for Tems’ artistry.
This performance marks her first-ever appearance at AFROPUNK Brasil and one of her rare live performances in South America. Her inclusion demonstrates the growing demand for African artists in global music spaces and reaffirms her status as one of the most influential women in contemporary music.
The Rise to Global Influence
Tems’ rise from Lagos to the world stage has been nothing short of remarkable. Since her breakout collaborations on Essence with Wizkid and Wait for U with Future and Drake, she has become one of the most sought-after performers in global pop and R&B.
Her performances are often praised for their intimacy, emotional depth, and effortless fusion of Afrobeats and soul, qualities that continue to captivate fans around the world. The upcoming performance at AFROPUNK Brasil not only symbolizes Tems’ expanding global reach but also highlights the increasing cultural exchange between Africa and Latin America.
With Afrobeats now a fixture in international festivals, Tems’ presence on the lineup signals that the global appetite for African music and artistry is only getting stronger, further cementing her legacy as one of the genre’s most powerful global voices.
