Sierra Leonean Afrobeats artist Jomapel Yankee is steadfastly advancing his mission to establish Sierra Leone as a formidable presence on the worldwide music scene. With the infectious momentum of his latest buzzing single, Hotter Than, serving as a powerful catalyst, Yankee has seamlessly transitioned from the studio to the stage, launching his dynamic Hotter Than tour.
On this tour, he is captivating audiences by delivering high-energy renditions of his current hit while also offering eager fans a privileged preview of exclusive, unreleased material, solidifying a deeply engaging and anticipatory live experience.
From electrifying sets at the Afro Soca Beach Festival in Cyprus to intimate showcases across Europe, Yankee is steadily proving himself as a cross-continental voice in Afrobeats. Yet, even as he makes waves abroad, he remains deeply rooted in Sierra Leone.
This summer, Yankee returned home for a heartfelt reunion with his family, friends, and fans, anchored by both philanthropic initiatives and a monumental welcome-back headline show at Chapter One, Salome. Sharing the stage with Nigerian superstars Tekno and Masterkraft, the night was a celebration of culture, unity, and Sierra Leone’s rising place in the Afrobeats conversation.
“This journey is bigger than me,” Yankee reflects. “It’s about showing the world what Sierra Leone has to offer and giving back to the people who made me who I am.”
Building on this powerful momentum, with his Hotter Than tour captivating international audiences and the single itself gaining significant traction on digital streaming platforms, Jomapel Yankee is solidifying a career built on a powerful dynamic performance, a profound sense of purpose, and unapologetic national pride.
He is not merely an artist on the rise; he is a cultural ambassador, deliberately carrying the spirit, sound, and flag of Sierra Leone with him as he breaks new ground on the global stage, ensuring the world takes note of the talent emerging from his homeland.
