Afrobeats have come a long way!

A genre with deep historical roots, and complexity, emerged in the 1960s and 70s, spearheaded by the legendary Fela Kuti, often hailed as the father of ‘Afrobeat’.

‘Afrobeats’, in its own right, is a vibrant and culturally significant musical movement, deserving of recognition for its dynamic energy and the immense talent that fuels it.

Fun fact: It is important not to confuse Afrobeat — spelled without an “s”— with Afrobeats, a distinct genre.
