Afrobeats Hits
Born in Nigeria and Ghana, Afrobeats has become one of the most eclectic—and exportable—sounds in contemporary music, often incorporating everything from rap and dancehall to R&B and house. At the top of the playlist this week is Tiwa Savage’s “Energy”, a Wande Coal and Mavo collaboration that Savage previewed for fans during her recent MOBO Awards performance. Hear it now on Afrobeats Hits alongside the rest of the infectious if indefinable sound of 21st-century Africa, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
