The world’s largest Afrobeats festival took place Saturday to Sunday, Aug. 17-18, at Bedrock’s Douglass Site.
Shenseea did not disappoint, delivering one of her signature sizzling performances. Her confidence and flair were on full display, as she enchanted the audience with her lyricism and dancing. She effortlessly proved why she’s a superstar.
In May, Shenseea released her sophomore studio album, Never Gets Late Here, solidifying her status as one of Jamaica’s most promising rising stars. Fresh off launching her Never Gets Late Here North American Tour in Chicago on Aug. 16, she took the stage at Afro Nation.
Afro Nation Detroit 2024 was a two-day music festival that brought together top Afro artists across Afrobeats, hip-hop, R&B, dancehall, gqom, amapiano and more. This historic venue, formerly the Brewster-Douglass Projects, was the nation’s first federally funded housing project for African-Americans and the former home of legends like Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson.
The Black festival (AfroNation) showcased a wealth of performances from the Black diaspora, including Rema, Omah Lay, Ayra Starr, Kizz Daniel and Michigan native Kash Doll on the main stage. Meanwhile, artists like Uncle Waffles, Musa Keys, Scorpion Kings, DBN Gogo and others kept the party alive all weekend at the Piano People stage. To be honest, there were moments when the Piano stage was even more lit than the main Lit Everywhere stage.
