Nigerian music superstar Davido discusses the significant influence of Afrobeats on the global music scene, noting its growing preference among international artists for collaborations.
In an interview with Kiss Fresh UK, Davido explained how the genre’s popularity has soared in both Europe and America, positively reshaping views of Africa and its culture.
He remarked, “This summer, I spent a lot of time in Europe… I noticed a shift in the landscape. People are embracing Afrobeats. Even American artists are eager to create Afrobeats tracks instead of sticking to their usual sounds.”
Davido also pointed out that Africa’s cultural impact goes beyond music, stating, “The narrative about Africans has evolved. There’s now a greater respect not just in music but also in fashion and food.”
