edon21: So why were you making a big deal about house music when even your signature music is an adaptation? |

kongolo: Comprehension is clearly not your strongest point either. Who cares if you people don't know our music when it gets the recognition it deserves all over the world except of course for Togo & other insignificant countries? This group are chart toppers globally & they know what South African house is. Let Togo dance to your tunes while we continue to make the universe dance Listen to that drum beat at the beginning of the song & they tied the whole thing up nicely with gwara gwara [url] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBuZEGYXA6E/url] |

XhosaNostra:i said read well Afrobeats Iyanya during a performance From early in the 21st century, a new type of sound, originating in Nigeria, has become increasingly prominent in African popular music.This name echoes Afrobeat, the 1970s fusion of Jazz and traditional Nigerian and Ghanaian music which is an important influence, but Afrobeats is a largely different style. Afrobeats is most identifiable by its signature driving drum beat rhythms, whether electronic or instrumental. These beats harken to the stylings of a variety of traditional African drumbeats across West Africa as well as the precursory genre of Afrobeat. [10] The beat in Afrobeats music is not just a base for the melody, but acts as a major character of the song, taking a lead role that is sometimes equal to are of greater importance than the lyrics and almost always more central than the other instrumentals. Another distinction within Afrobeats is the notably west African, specifically Nigerian or Ghanaian, accented English [10] that is often blended with local slangs, pidgin English, as well as local Nigerian or Ghanaian languages depending on the backgrounds of the performers. DJs and producers like DJ Black, Elom Adablah, and C-Real (Cyril-Alex Gockel) for example, have been a crucial part in spreading the popularity of this form of music. [11] Their artistic mixing of beats and sounds allow a younger audience to experience a sound that is somewhat familiar in its influences and yet uniquely African. Their mixing and promotion of popular hits on the continent is also a tried and true method for success. Often what the play in clubs, radio shows, podcasts, etc. are what become popularized both within Africa and abroad. [11] Since 2012, Afrobeats have gained mainstream recognition outside of Africa, especially within the UK. Other mainstream popularity garnered by Afrobeat is shown in Canadian artist Drake 's music. Drake's 2017 album More Life contains many Afrobeat and Dancehall influences. [13] Afrobeats has captured the attention of many award shows as well. For example, the BET Awards usually highlights the musical genre According to David Drake, the eclectic genre "reimagines diasporic influences and—more often than not—completely reinvents them." International popularity Although originally a Nigerian genre Afrobeats has grown in popularity worldwide. It first made its global debut in the United Kingdom with the surge of African immigrants, however the tunes of this genre can now be heard everywhere. Wizkid , Mr Eazi, Burna Boy , D’Banj , 2Baba , Tiwa Savage and Davido serve as prime examples of Nigerian artists who have emerged in the global scale. [18] Afrobeats’ international popularity is likely rooted in the fact that beat/melody resemble a blend of EDM, R&B, and hip-hop thus providing a familiar tune for many. Furthermore, as English is an official language of Nigeria, artists often choose to sing/rap in English, Pidgin English, and/or their local language. Afrobeats have expanded global conversation of Nigeria, which had previously been reduced to political unrest as a result of religious disputes. Afrobeats in a sense has created a platform for which the world can engage with Nigeria's vibrant and rich culture. American artist including Michelle Williams have used Afrobeats directly in their music or have been heavily influenced by Afro beat songs. This includes William's top hit “Say Yes,” a gospel song based on the Nigerian hymn “When Jesus Say Yes.” there have been many collaborations between performers in the West and Nigerian artists including French Montana and Ice Prince, Rick Ross and P-Square, and Kanye and D’Banj. [19] next. Regardless, it consistently relies on a set of heavy beats that make this music easy to dance to, which acts as a major A music festival that's recognized worldwide is One Africa Music Fest . The festival has four different locations: New York City, Houston, London, and Dubai. One Africa Music Fest showcases modern Afrobeat music and talent. As stated on the official website, the main focus of the music festival is to help strengthen Africa's position in the entertainment industry on a global level. The festival also wants to create awareness to display the positive side of Africa that people don't usually know about. This Afrobeats music festival promotes collaboration between other artists, businesses and communities. Afro Beat Fest is an annual festival in Newark, New Jersey celebrating African culture including music, art, fashion, dance, crafts and cuisine.

It simply means the new sound of Africa, which takes in diverse influences that take inspiration from its African roots and is combined with the sounds of Rap , Reggae / Dancehall , and even R&B . It's an extremely eclectic combination that makes for quite the enjoyable sound." [ |

XhosaNostra:ok has been suggested that this article be split into a new article titled Afrobeats . ( Discuss) (April 2019) The term was coined in the 1960s by Nigerian multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Fela Kuti , who is responsible for pioneering and popularizing the style both within and outside Nigeria . Distinct from Afrobeat is Afrobeats - a sound originating in Nigeria in the 21st century, one which takes in diverse influences and is an eclectic combination of rap , dancehall , and even R&B . |

RTSC: Kenya is ranked ahead of Nigeria in most basic development indices currently, this is a bitter pill for you to swallow. Just visit the Kenya Nigeria thread and peruse through from page 1 to 4000+. You'll curse your ignorance, the problem with most Nigerians is that they're extremely ignorant and have zero intelligence, talking as if other African nations are living in stone age. |

Yobeezy:Many countries are ranked ahead of Nigeria in HDI same as India. Overpopulation plays a role here. A country with a $10 billion economy but with 15 million should have a higher HDI than a $100billion economy that has 130 million people. It is simple. It doesn't mean Kenya is better. We are both developing countries,with Nigeria having by far the bigger economy. And when you factor in corruption and overpopulation, it is not surprising that Kenya has a higher HDI than Nigeria. Many countries in west Africa have a higher hdi than Nigeria, yet Nigeria account for 70% of the economy in the subregion. |
