The event featured Davido's energetic performance, where he thrilled the audience with a mix of his hit songs, from "Fall" and "If" to more recent tracks like "Unavailable." Known for his electrifying stage presence and ability to connect with fans, Davido brought a vibrant Afrobeat sound to the celebration, further solidifying his status as a global music icon. His presence at the New Year party highlighted his popularity across the African continent and underscored the unifying power of music in bringing different cultures together.
Davido’s performance was met with enthusiasm and joy from the Ethiopian crowd, who sang along to his songs and danced to his beats. The celebration was not just a musical performance but a cultural exchange, as Davido embraced the spirit of Enkutatash, which symbolizes renewal, hope, and joy for the Ethiopian people. His participation in the event was a testament to his influence and his ability to bridge cultural gaps through his music.
