YOLO, AfroBaile and Africanize bring Afro music celebration to São Paulo on November 19

Tour connecting Brazil and Africa celebrates contemporary Black culture with performances by Afrocidade, O Kanalha and Rom Santana.

After a sold-out debut in Salvador, the collaboration between three of the most influential Afro music platforms — YOLO (Rio de Janeiro), AfroBaile (Salvador) and Africanize (Brazil and Nigeria) — lands in São Paulo on November 19, taking over Espaço Usine for a night of rhythm, connection and celebration.

A celebration of global Black culture

More than just a party, the event is a cultural bridge linking artists, producers and audiences across continents. It highlights the power and diversity of contemporary Black music, promoting exchange and creative collaboration between Brazil and Africa.

“This collab was born from the desire to see each other, recognize each other and celebrate together. Each platform carries a piece of Black music history — our meeting is about power, memory and creativity,” say the organizers.

Line-up highlights

The São Paulo edition features O Kanalha, Rom Santana, Afrocidade, Tamy, Wil Ow, Luna, U Miranda, Vitória Nicolau and Jimmy Jay, alongside local collectives representing the city’s vibrant Afro scene.

Expect a blend of afrobeat, funk, pagodão, R&B and house, celebrating the rhythm and power of the African diaspora through dance, sound and identity.

Next stop: Rio de Janeiro

After São Paulo, the tour concludes in Rio de Janeiro on November 20, honoring Black Consciousness Day in Brazil.
