Afrobeats ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos
Afrobeats, not to be confused with Afrobeat or Afroswing, is an umbrella term to describe popular music from West Africa and the diaspora that initially developed in Nigeria, Ghana, and the UK in the 2000s and 2010s. Afrobeats is less of a style per se, and more of a descriptor for the fusion of sounds flowing majorly out of Nigeria. Genres such as hiplife, jรนjรบ music, highlife, azonto music, and naija beats, among others, were amalgamated under the "Afrobeats" umbrella.
