From June until October, the Capital One City Parks Foundation, an independent non-profit organization based in New York, USA, will stage its annual outdoor music festival dubbed “SummerStage.” They will perform an Afrobeat event in New York’s Central Park on August 14, 2022, beginning at 6 p.m.
SummerStage is one of New York’s most popular and widely accessible free outdoor performing arts festivals, providing free live performances of all kinds.
Top Afrobeats talents Patoranking, Flavour N’abania, Juls, Superherd DJ Jon Quick, and a slew of African and international music luminaries will headline the performance.
Over the years, SummerStage has assembled some of the world’s leading music icons who exude diverse music styles and cultural offerings ranging from jazz, hip hop, Latin, global, indie and contemporary dance to engage fans from all over the city – and the world – and the 2022 season will continue that legacy.
In a press release, the Executive Artistic Director of SummerStage, Erika Elliott stated:
“New York is the quintessential global city, and the place we have been proud to call home for more than three decades. SummerStage brings renowned artists and rising stars from around the world to local neighborhood parks, presenting distinctly New York genres — salsa, jazz, and hip hop — alongside indie, reggae, Afrobeat, soul, modern dance, and much more.
