Johannesburg | 20 November 2025 — AfroFuture, the pioneering cultural powerhouse under Culture Management Group LLC, is expanding its footprint across the continent with the launch of its newest live experience platform, CURATED BY CULTURE (CBC). The series debuts in South Africa with ASAKE LIVE this January 2026 — marking a milestone moment for African music and live entertainment.

Fresh off the announcement of ASAKE as the headliner for AfroFuture Festival in Ghana, this new venture signals AfroFuture’s evolution into a pan-African experience brand, designed to champion the vibrancy, artistry, and global influence of African culture through premium, intimate live moments.

While AfroFuture Festival remains the flagship celebration in Ghana — and Culture Beach Jam continues to blend music and adventure along Africa’s coastline — CURATED BY CULTURE introduces a focused lens on genre-defining artists and culturally impactful performances across the continent.

ASAKE MAKES HIS SOUTH AFRICAN LIVE DEBUT

For the first time ever, South African fans will witness the magnetic presence of global Afrobeats sensation ASAKE live on stage. The show promises a powerful collision of Afrobeats energy, Amapiano pulse, and AfroFuture’s unmistakable visual storytelling.

From global smashes like “Lonely at the Top,” “Amapiano,” and “Organise,” audiences can expect a high-octane performance featuring chart-topping hits, dance-driven production, and a world-class showcase that celebrates the fusion of two of Africa’s most dominant sounds: Afrobeats and Amapiano.

“South Africa has long been a heartbeat of global music and creativity — its sound, its energy, and its people have influenced culture far beyond its borders,” says Abdul Karim Abdullah, CEO and Co-Founder of AfroFuture. “With CURATED BY CULTURE, our goal is to honour these cultural powerhouses across Africa. Launching in Johannesburg with Asake felt like the perfect way to set the tone: bold, unapologetic, and deeply rooted in Africa’s rhythm.”
