About Playlist
Originating in Nigeria and Ghana, Afrobeats is one of the world's fastest-growing genres. Sometimes also called Afropop, this music style can be described as where African rhythms meet the music of the African diaspora. Nigeria is its epicentre even though you can find artists in this genre all across the continent. It may not always be evident, but virtually every single artist of this genre has been influenced by the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti. Yet, the resulting sound is remarkably different. This is like how Reggae Dancehall is very different from the Roots Reggae of Bob Marley. This is why the "s" is very important in Afrobeats so as not to confuse it with Fela's Afrobeat. Afrobeats also has heavy influences from African genres such as Highlife, Fuji, and Apala music. Other music genre influences from the diaspora include Hip Hop, Reggae Dancehall, R&B, and even House. We hope you enjoy this exclusive selection from our team of the best Afrobeats releases from 2022. This year saw strong releases from Burna Boy, Wizkid, Falz, Asake, Réma, CKay, Bella Shmurda, Fireboy DML, and many more. We also saw the arrival of some relative newcomers such as Victony and Pheelz. Obongjayar, Asa, and Brymo also make an appearance on the list this year. Even though they're not typically considered Afrobeats artists, they dabbled in the genre. Listen and explore these tunes into 2023 and beyond! Photo: Wizkid © Starboy - RCA Records
