My Favourite Afrobeats

Greetings!

Thanks for coming by for another read. Today, I share some of my favourite Afrobeats. This list was definitely difficult to create but I plan to update it as time goes on. Hope you enjoy !

Afrobeats is a music style that involves elements of West African music, Funk and Jazz. Fela Kuti was the pioneer of Afrobeats as well as a Human Rights Activist in Nigeria.

Afrobeats are a huge part of the African community and has gradually spread across the world. Afrobeats have a huge audience including non-African listeners!

One of my favourite parts of Afrobeats are definitely the lyrics. These artistes have a great way with words and it really takes the music to a whole new level.

Now that we're done with the background stuff, let's jump in, shall we?
