Amidst the world's fervent embrace of Afrobeat music, international sensation H.E.R. marked her inaugural performance on the African continent at the Hey Neighbour Festival.

The Grammy-winning artist took centre stage to deliver solo renditions of Afrobeat hits - Asake's "Lonely at the Top" and Wizkid's "Smile."

Her choice to spotlight these Afrobeat tracks during her first-ever performance in Africa underscored the global acceptance and influence of this vibrant musical genre.

H.E.R.'s solo interpretation of these songs represented a significant cultural moment, as she immersed herself in the essence of Afrobeat while honouring the Festival's monumental celebration of Heineken's 150-year legacy.
