In discussing the idea behind this website centred around celebrating Afrobeats, Jocelyne Muhutu-Remy, Spotify’s Managing Director for Sub-Saharan Africa, revealed, There is no doubt that Afrobeats as a genre is here to stay, and will only continue to shatter more ceilings. In 2023 alone, the genre has been played for more than 223 million hours with streams exceeding 7.1 billion on Spotify. We created this site for both new and longtime fans of the genre, who would like to have a better understanding of how and where this explosive sound came to be.
