Black Sherif: Sun Swagger Tour Live in New York

Ghanaian singer and rapper Black Sherif brings his Sun Swagger Tour to New York for a one-night live show. He first broke through with “Kwaku the Traveller,” which topped the Apple Music charts in Ghana and Nigeria, and has since built a catalog that includes the debut album The Villain I Never Was and the sophomore album Iron Boy. His music blends highlife, reggae, and hip-hop, often with lyrics in Twi.

Expect a set that draws on his full story so far—from the early “First Sermon” and “Second Sermon” singles to tracks from Iron Boy. He has performed at the MOBO Awards’ 25th anniversary in London and is the first Ghanaian act to have played the UK’s Wireless Festival, so this one-night New York show is a chance to hear a fast-rising voice in Ghanaian and global hip-hop up close.
