Exploring Music Collaborations and Cultural Connections Across Africa and the Diaspora

Afrobeats is dominating summer playlists. After a steady rise for the genre over the last few years, artists like Wizkid, Burna Boy and Tems are all over the Western music charts, winning big at the Grammys and BET Awards and headlining the biggest festivals. But, for the growing African diaspora that's been fueling its rise, the music goes a lot deeper than its commercial success. We get into how Afrobeats is paving a way back home for members of the diaspora and how its dominance is built on self-acceptance and cultural pride. Featuring: Christian Adofo, writer and author of A Quick Ting on Afrobeats. GuiltyBeatz, Ghanian DJ and Afrobeats producer.
