Norwegian-Ghanaian Afrobeat singer Akuvi delivered a standout debut performance at the historic 10th edition of Stonebwoy’s BHIM Festival (BHIM Fest), held at the Accra Sports Stadium on December 24, 2025. The milestone event, which celebrated a decade of Stonebwoy’s impact on reggae, dancehall, and Afrobeats, was sold out and drew an estimated crowd of over 40,000 fans, with some reports placing attendance as high as 60,000.
BHIM Fest 10 was a celebration of legacy and global musical unity, headlined by Stonebwoy himself and featuring surprise appearances from international and regional heavyweights. Jamaican roots reggae legend Fantan Mojah electrified the crowd, while Nigerian star Mr. P of P-Square added continental flair. The strong lineup also included Ghanaian music powerhouses Efya, Fameye, Kwabena Kwabena, Amaarae, and several other notable acts, making the night one of the most memorable live music events in Ghana this year.
Among the night’s most talked-about performances was Akuvi’s. Stepping onto one of the country’s biggest stages for the first time, the Afrobeat singer delivered a high-energy, confident set that immediately connected with the massive audience. Known for her unique fusion of Afrobeat with global influences, Akuvi showcased both vocal strength and stage command, earning loud reactions from fans inside the stadium.
The buzz extended beyond the venue. On X (formerly Twitter), concertgoers and music fans shared clips of Akuvi’s performance, praising her stage presence and crowd control. Several posts described her set as “damn good,” with many noting how naturally she held her own alongside some of Africa’s most established stars.
Often described as Norway’s first female Afrobeat artist, Akuvi’s appearance at BHIM Fest also carried symbolic weight. It represented a growing bridge between African and diaspora sounds—one that aligns closely with the festival’s global vision and Stonebwoy’s international outlook.
Adding to the excitement is Akuvi’s current promotion of her yet-to-be-released collaborative single, “Dream Big,” with Stonebwoy. Her appearance at BHIM Fest 10 has now become a natural and timely crossover moment, fueling anticipation for the collaboration. Industry observers see the performance as a strategic and organic lead-in to the release, positioning Akuvi for wider recognition across African and international markets.
With her BHIM Fest debut now firmly etched into one of Ghana’s biggest music celebrations, Akuvi has signaled that she is an artist to watch closely. As anticipation builds around “Dream Big,” her performance at BHIM Fest 10 may well be remembered as a defining moment in her rising career.
