Afro Nation made its U.S. debut on Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, May 28, at LoanDepot Park in Miami. Focusing on performers from Africa and the diaspora, the two-day music festival featured acts like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Asake, Sech, Fireboy DML, Rema, Dadju, and Shenseea.

The festival comes on the heels of African music's growth in popularity over the last few years. Amapiano, the South African music genre, is one of the hottest dance styles right now, and African pop has even cracked the Billboard charts.

Afro Nation first debuted in Portugal over four summers ago, with other editions taking place in Ghana and Puerto Rico. The festival's stature has grown alongside the rise in Afrobeats, African pop, and amapiano. The festival even help Billboard launch its U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart in 2022.

Check out the highlights from Afro Nation's Miami debut from photographer Michele Eve Sandberg below.
