The African Energy Chamber is proud to announce that Nigerian Afrobeat star Spyro will perform at this year’s Just Energy Transition Concert at the African Energy Week in Cape Town

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, September 8, 2023/ -- Africa’s premier energy event, African Energy Week (AEW) 2023, is nearly upon us, and with it comes the highly anticipated Just Energy Transition Concert.

Taking place on the eve of AEW 2023 in Cape Town, this extraordinary event blends the realms of music and energy, uniting enthusiasts and industry leaders in a resounding harmony for sustainable development across Africa.

Emerging as a prominent figure in the Afrobeats and dancehall genre, Spyro has captured the global spotlight. Born and bred in Nigeria, Sypro skyrocketed to fame following the release of his chart-topping single, "Billing," in July 2022. His track, "Who is your Guy?" proved to be a game-changer.

Spyro’s rise from humble beginnings to global stardom resonates with Africa’s energy industry’s transformative journey, both representing one that reflects the resilience and determination required to achieve success.

“Having Spyro as a performer at AEW’s Just Energy Transition Concert is a testament to the power of art in promoting sustainable energy solutions.
