Nigeria’s Afrobeat music industry is fast exploding worldwide. From contemporary artistes such as Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Femi and Seun Anikulapo Kuti, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Tekno and hundreds more, Nigeria is fast capturing the global music airwaves. On a more classic music form, late Afrobeat King Fela Anikulapo Kuti still inspires the new generation of Afrobeat musicians worldwide. With the genre spreading all the way to the US with bands like Antibalas and South America’s Newen Afrobeat, the Afrobeat philosophy reigns supreme. Also still dominating are great musicians like King Sunny Ade, Salif Keita, Yousou Ndior, late Manu Dibango, Mori Kante, Awilo Longonba, Angelique Kidjo and many others. No doubt, Africa is blessed with great musical talents.
