Afrobeats and Beyond

You can keep your sonic barriers. We’re going beyond the confines of genre, geographies, and familiar sounds.

From traditional sounds to global culture

Afrobeats is African music. The all-encompassing term combining Highlife, R&B, hip-hop, Juju, Fuji, Apala, to name a few — has crossed over into the US and other major cities across the globe. Create with the sounds of Mystro Sugar, LeriQ, Dunnie and more as we dive into Afrobeats and beyond.
