  1. This is an honest analysis of the genesis of afrobeat. Bros , you will live long for acknowledging the role of Ghanaian highlife music as the foundation of afrobeat. Than you so much.

  2. You’re also ignorant, I don’t blame you because you’re not creative enough as a music producer to know that a lot of hardwork, sleepless night goes into this, that’s why it’s easier for you to pack the credit of what Nigerians had worked hard for to another country. What a shame. And you were talking about Wande coal freestyle ft R2 bs as if bumper 2 bumper wasn’t a thin then, go and listen to the percussion again it was produced by don jazzy, that bounce has already been a thing before Wande coal freestyle. And the first person to use that bounce was mr Paul play and truly that bounce is Ghana bounce but just that stuff alone doesn’t warrant you to say Afrobeats is from Ghana. Before that bounce we’d had so many hit songs from a lot of newskool arts then Or should we say the Caribbean owns Highlife because it’s originally from calypso sound? This is a big insult on all sound engineer, music producers, artist and everyone behind the success of Nigerian music. This one just Dey here open mouth and nonsense Dey jump out of him mouth.

  3. And for the record, Ebo Taylor is a Ghanian, and one of the most popular highlife musicians in Ghana, and was a close friend of Fela, and was there when Fela was putting afrobeat together. And I also hope you can hear alot of Fuji, juju and Apala in the present day afrobeats too. So stop selling yourself out. Is just like someone saying highlife is Calypso, just because Calypso influenced it. Be well informed.

  4. Abeg shut up 🤐 if you born pikin way Outside give am name you fit carry am five am say na him born am na fool😂

    Place way you no even day you dey talk coz them tell you 😂

  5. I keep coming to this content. This self acclaimed music pundit. Please, I urge all of you to go and watch DJ Pakorich's interview, and 3 FM Drive interview of Ebo Taylor veteran Ghanaian musician and contemporary of Fela,he confirms Fela created afrobeat not Ghana. So Mr Stupid pundit, it's now in the open that all the negative insults you pour on Nigerians are all your numbed skull, you son of a nobody.

  6. Ignorant Nigerians will come for you especially those who never hard stable Electricity their entire life, giant of Africa without light what a piss take

  7. It's three months since I made my first comment. I have been justified. Go and watch DJ Pakorich's interview of Ebo Taylor. He just confirmed Fela created afrobeat not Ghana or Ghanaians. Shame on Mr analyst. Just because you can articulate yourself in English language doesn't qualify you as a music pundit. Henceforth, you better shut your trap or you been consumed by wholesale ignorance.

  8. My question is that is Ghanaians ready to sound like Nigeria now, Ghanaians owned afrobeat which people play afrobet my guy Nigeria didn't share or close to your Ghana in any way all are know Nigeria people created Ghana for the beginning you guy truly have afrobet musical your so called Ghanaians afrobet please my brother is difference for Nigeria okay. All African have their music my brother please stop fooling yourself.

  9. So, is Fela no more the originator of Afrobeat in Nigeria? What of palm wine gyrations music that was popular in the Nigerian Universities that sounds like highlife? Afrobeat is a combination of Fuji, Juju, highlife and Jazz music. Ghanaians can't claim Afrobeat.
