Dapper Live, the live events division of Dapper Group, is ramping up plans for international expansion following its official recognition by Guinness World Records as the title holder for the largest orchestra at an Afrobeats concert, it said on Wednesday.
The record was achieved during Trench Symphony: The Dapper Live Experience, held on December 16, 2025, at the Balmoral Eko Convention Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, where more than 80 orchestra members performed live alongside leading Afrobeats artistes in what organisers described as a landmark fusion of classical orchestration and contemporary African music.
Speaking about the achievement, Akinwunmi said the project was designed to demonstrate the global potential of African music beyond conventional concert formats.
