AFROPUNK Brasil has officially added Tems to its star-studded 2025 line‑up, set for November 8–9 in the vibrant city of Salvador, Bahia.

The festival returning for its fifth edition at the Parque de Exposições in Salvador blends international talent with Brazil’s culturally rich soundscapes.

 Confirmed acts include:

  • Jorja Smith (UK R&B/soul)

  • BK’, Liniker, and Péricles (Brazilian rap, soul, samba)

  • Icons like BaianaSystem, ÀTTØØXXÁ, Budah, Núbia with bloco afro Muzenza

  • DJs Boneka and Umiranda

Expect Tems to deliver her signature blend of introspective lyrics and powerful vocal delivery. Known for her genre-blurring approach, she has carved out a unique sonic identity that bridges Afrobeat, neo-soul, and alternative R&B, perfectly aligning with AFROPUNK’s ethos of boundary-breaking artistry.

For fans in Salvador, this is a rare opportunity: Tems has yet to tour extensively in Latin America, making this performance potentially historic.

AFROPUNK Brasil continues to foster a space where Afro-Latin and African artists converge. Afropunk’s mission—to celebrate identity, creativity, and social justice—resonates deeply in Salvador, a city steeped in Afro-Brazilian heritage. This edition promises to be a cultural melting pot, blending ancestral rhythms with contemporary artistry.
