Afrobeats (not to be confused with Afrobeat or Afroswing), also known as Afro-pop, Afro-fusion (also styled as Afropop and Afrofusion), 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 out of Ghana and Nigeria. Genres such as hiplife, jùjú music, highlife and naija beats, among others, were amalgamated under the 'afrobeats' umbrella.

Afrobeats is primarily produced in Lagos, Accra, and London. Paul Gilroy, of The Black Atlantic, reflects on the changing London music scene as a result of shifting demographics:

"We are moving towards an African majority which is diverse both in its cultural habits and in its relationship to colonial and postcolonial governance, so the shift away from Caribbean dominance needs to be placed in that setting. Most of the grime folks are African kids, either the children of migrants or migrants themselves. It's not clear what Africa might mean to them".

NEW MUSIC: AKUA  - NANA

Following a break from the music scene, UK based artist Akua is back with a brand new single titled “Nana”.

A song mixed with Hiplife and R&B Fusions, “Nana” shows Akua displaying her feelings for a love interest. 

Produced by DJ Breezy, this sweet-sounding song displays Akua’s universal sound, with soulful yet traditional melodies.

I’m sure we can expect more music from Akua this year. 

Listen, Share & Enjoy “Nana”
