FELA KUTI IS THE KING
FELA CAME TO AMERICA IN THE LATE 60'S AND GATHERED SOME BLACK AMERICAN CULTURE AND FUSED IT TO WHAT HE WAS DOING AND TOOK IT BACK TO NIGERIA ….THEN CAME AFROBEATS WITH THE YOUNGSTERS AND THEN AMPIANO. YOU CAN NOT MAKE THESE GENRES WITHOUT JAZZ, FUNK, SOUL, RAP, HIP HOP, RNB AND CHICAGO/DETROIT HOUSE MUSIC. WHEN YOU HEAR THESE GENRES YOU ALSO ARE LISTENING TO THE INFLUENCE OF THE BLACK AMERICAN CULTURE. DID YOU KNOW BLACK AMERICANS INFLUENCED REGGAE AS WELL ???
Thank god, Afro-beats is a music genre. : )
the creator of afrobeat is ethiopia , congo and cote d'ivoire
excuse but afrobeats is born in congo and cote d'ivoire first is the real creator of afrobeat after the have ghana , nigeria and tanzania new cameroon stop liar nigeria don't creat afrobeat
Afrobeats is Nigeria and Nigeria alone stop this Ghana shit
Afrobeats may have the same name as the one fela used but no this new and modern sound is just highlife and azonto combined and for those that don’t know these are two type of sounds that originated in GHANA, Nigeria popularized it but the creators are Ghanaian
Fela Kuti formed Afrobeats we dont sing Sound Sultan, Eedris, Jimmy Jatt, Eldee, Freestyle, 2face and more, we sing Afrobeats. When Ayo Shonaiya said he went to LA with Eldee and Banky, it nearly made me cry. Sauce Kid and TeeBillz were the people that were in LA back then.
🔥🔥
Afrobeats sound so much like reggae/dancehall from Jamaica
I watched the documentary from S01 – S10; though it has a lot of info, it needed to be more logically put into play, and the story was haphazardly told. Leaving out the influence of highlife music fusion by DJ Martins, Flavor, Harrysong, inyanya and Chidinma is criminal. It was also funny how Biggiano received such long minutes while Modenine was totally left out. Giving out the history of Afrobeat and living out Bongos Ekwe, Zaaki Adze, Zule Zoo, Dr. Alban is suspicious.
The producer also seems to acknowledge the contribution of some unknown twin-sisters in London, but fails to give credit to the street in Nigeria by failing to acknowledge the likes of African China, Stereoman, Oritse Femi, Professor Linkin, Pastor Goody Goody, Danfo Drivers, etc
Afro music is not about Lagos and London only, please.
Afrobeat origin is Nigeria and it was fela.
The producers of this documentary did a bad job
When will this documentary be available on Netflix Brazil?
wow,i cant wait for the back story
I can’t find it on Netflix
𝕡𝐫ｏ𝕄ｏ𝔰𝓶
I like the documentary but it so underated the female influence and artists in the Nigerian scene they deserved an episode or atleast more than 5mins
No davido and Olamide stupid documentary
Why is Ghana even mentioned? Why do they always have to squeeze themselves into our successs.
That documentary from what I've watched so far is trash. The documentary is just beating around the bush. What they are saying just doesn't correspond with what afrobeat is. They keep talking about hip pop and what not, showing people who want to be like the Americans. I don't know if they are trying to bring hip pop back to life in Africa or what. If u ask me who made Nigeria music relevant back in the day, then the answer is absolutely P square. They were the only artists to continue to give us bangers upon bangers the rest were one hit wonders or two hit wonders. The rest just give us hit once in 4 years. This documentary is trash so far. We need a better documentary of afrobeats pls. Most of these names mentioned in this documentary were hip pop artists, their song were garbage and they have no link to afrobeats like how the hell Netflix even allow this garbage on their platform. Pssst
Does anyone know the name of the song that flashed at 0.04 second?
Other African countries doesn't realise and appreciate, what the Nigerian entertainment industry has sacrificed, in terms of efforts, resources, talent, and most especially the belief to continue to push from all frontiers across different continents (Africa, Europe and America) to create the genre Afrobeats. How the pioneers has weathered various storms to pave way for the current generation and built a powerful genre called Afrobeats. I wish everyone in the sub-saharan african countries will watch the series on Netflix and appreciate what the Nigerian entertainment industry has done to the development of the industry in Africa, rather than envy and hate the Nigerian entertainment industry achievements. The industry has paid the price for where they are today, while others were sleeping they working their arse out, and that is the Nigerian spirit. It shows that things didn't just happen you make it happen, or sometime you forced it to happen.
A backstory without giving props to the originators, Fela and Sandra Izadore?
Not even a clip of Davido. Hmm
Nigerians stole it from Ghana
Important to acknowledge the Caribbean and African American influence on Afrobeats.
Afrobeat(s)? Afro-American, Caribbean, South American Afro, culture. IT ALREADY EXISTS. Nigerian Sound. YES!!! Ghanan Sound. SURE!!! But nothing without Afro-American. Let's not forget. 🤣🤩😍
Fela Kuti formed afrobeat and is from Nigeria we don't sing Reggie we sing afrobeat
I was shocked wen I saw this on Netflix ❤️
When Eldee said that he went to Essence International School i nearly cried. It brought back memories. I went to Turaki International but knew a few people from Essence and Labayi International school
Very good documentary. Strangely I probably wasn’t born when Belinda song was released but I felt like I knew the song 😜. There should be a documentary on Nigerian movies evolution. I think Nigerian movies kicked off properly after Living in bondage. Of course we had Things fall apart and others before that but not as many movies until Living in bondage. Before then we watched only Bollywood in the North and a few American movies but more Bollywood
I like how they merged the Ghana 🇬🇭 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 flag 🤍🔥
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Où est le reportage ? On ne le retrouve pas sur Netflix
Quick question, Why are only two Anglophone West African countries stated? What about the other non English speaking countries. They have also contributed and impacted Afrobeats as well. For example in Cote d'Ivoire Doug Saga's -Coupe Decale and Magic Systems Premiere Gaou what of them? Where is there recognition? You cannot only mention two African nations and say that they are the creators of Afrobeats. Afro comes from the word Africa or African so you cannot talk.about two African nations and say that you are speaking about Afrobeats as a whole. Everyones contribution towards this genre of music has to be recognised . You can tell that one of the main producers of this "documentary" is probably Nigerian or Ghanaian but, I'm guessing Nigerian.
Why don’t I see Davido??
Nigerian artists staying on top
Where’s Davido???
Afrobeat is king🤜🏾🤜🏾
