According to Wikipedia, Afrobeats is an umbrella term used to describe popular music from West Africa and the diaspora that initially developed in Nigeria, Ghana, and the UK, in the 2000s. More of a signifier, and less of a style per se, Afrobeats is primarily produced in Lagos, Accra, and London.Â
Similar to what’s happening to dancehall and reggae, Afrobeats is going through a renaissance as the sound is changing due to influences from other genres. When you think of Afrobeats the artists that come to mind are Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, or Tiwa Savage however there is a plethora of emerging artists as the sound is crossing over borders including Ruger, Rema and Asake.
