Afrobeats Infleunce In Other African Countries

Afrobeats originated in Nigeria and is most popular throughout West Africa. Listening to music from selected countries such as the Congo, Mali, Sudan, etc I noticed the difference in their sounds. Other countries are more cultural/traditional with their instruments and lyrics while Afrobeat today is all about the catchy beat and encompassing lyrics about women, the finer things in life, dancing, and having a good time.  Here are some examples of countries that have been influenced by Afrobeats:

Fuse ODG- "Million Pound Girl" (Ghana)





Togar Howard-"Basima Basima" (Liberia)


 


Maleek Berry ft Wizkid-"The Matter" (Nigeria)



 

Cabo Snoop- Windeck (Angola)
