The talented artist recently enchanted a major Indian city as well as the concert venue where he held the first leg of his highly anticipated ‘Rema Calm Down India Tour.’
Rema shared a throwback video from a 2020 interview in which he expressed his desire to bring Afrobeats to India and leave a lasting impression.
“You see, I want to take Afrobeats to the next level.” I’d like for us to enter the India zone. “How come we can’t shut down India?” he said
Rema was overjoyed to have finally realized his dream of shutting down India after three years of unwavering determination.
He tweeted his appreciation to the country and everyone who believed in him.
“I did it three years later!” Thank you, India, for your overwhelming love, and my heartfelt gratitude to those who BELIEVED.”
