Afrobeats superstar Davido, also known as David Adeleke, delivered an electrifying performance during a cocktail event celebrating the United Bank of Africa’s (UBA) 75th anniversary, held in conjunction with the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
The event gathered various dignitaries and personalities, highlighting the significance of the occasion as they came together to discuss the future of Africa.
Davido’s vibrant set included hits like “Aye,” “Skelewu,” and “Risky,” which had the audience singing along and created a lively atmosphere that resonated throughout the venue.
Among the prominent attendees were Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima and UBA’s Group Chairman Tony Elumelu, who joined other influential figures at the UNGA to engage in important conversations aimed at advancing Africa’s interests on the global stage.
Davido’s performance not only entertained but also served to underscore the cultural impact and global reach of African music, reinforcing the continent’s vibrant creative landscape in an international setting.
Before the event, Davido expressed his excitement on social media, noting that it was his first experience at the UNGA and hoping it would be an interesting one.
His presence and performance at such a significant gathering reflect his status as a leading figure in the Afrobeats genre and his ability to connect with audiences beyond music, contributing to broader discussions about Africa’s future during a pivotal time at the UN.
