Afrobeats: The Backstory | Now Streaming | Netflix
/ africaonnetflix
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.
Lmao.. The others were sleeping? 😂 Don't you know that some of the biggest artists of the continent are from Congo? You've never heard of the Coupé Décalé from côte d'Ivoire? And now the amapiano that's slowly carrying afrobeats right now?... Don't act like Nigeria is the only artistic place in Africa please. 😂
@ That's the thing, It is way more than being artistic, we are naturally artistic as Africans, We are talking now about the music value chain. Production, Promotion, Marketing, Presentation, Videography, Costuming, DJing, AR, OAPs, Hype-men, Dancers... and also the influence of Nigerians in diaspora. It is an industry, If well nurtured, can be more profitable than oil.
I danced to makossa and sukus from Congo, Senegal, Cameroun,... growing up in Nigeria. What you cannot deny is the Nigerian Music Industry has grown immensely in the last decade and other climes can learn from this and who knows, the next decade might be Congolese or Ghanaian taking over.
At the end of the day, A win for one is a win for all. We are all brothers before the borders.
@@adebolaoyenuga5058 the Nigeria music is doing well.. But it doesn't mean that everybody is sleeping around.. Just look at the amapiano from south Africa that is now influencing Nigerian artists?..afrobeat sounds evolve and is influenced by other African rythm.. So nobody is sleeping.
@ The Congolese Music are not AfroBeat. They are different and have their unique names.
@ Yes Bro, totally agreed with you about talent depth across africa. But what we are saying is developing the music and the entertaining industry about very african countries, not about big talent only. If you are big and no one knows about you across various geographies, what is the point, or you are the only major artist in one countries. What we are talking goes beyond be a talent, it's about Production, Promotion, Marketing e.t.c.
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.
Thank god, Afro-beats is a music genre. : )
Nigerian artists staying on top
It's Ghana 🇬🇭and Nigeria 🇳🇬
Fela Kuti brings afrobeat to Africa and he is not a Ghanaian he is a Nigerian
@@lucky04Mick1 Its Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
We can all share the glory of Afrobeat both Nigerian and Ghana and the rest of the African countires.
@@macsanatic yeah, we can all share it am not trying to say we can't share it, but afrobeat started in Nigeria 🇳🇬 just like how Rap started in the USA
Afrobeat is king🤜🏾🤜🏾
Important to acknowledge the Caribbean and African American influence on Afrobeats.
they did
@@venusonanuga8725 yes
Sure!
No need to mention because that's the same peoples from Africa.
Watch the documentary
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
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
@Afrobest truth hurts huh
lol u just sound dumb, azonto is a dance not a sound. Ghanaians literally love claiming afrobeats cuz it's popular now but if it flopped years back y'all won't be dragging it with Nigeria. Afrobeats has always been from Nigeria and Nigerian artists will forever continue to own the music industry, so stop lying
Nigerians will luv to claim everything that came from Ghana. Play a song from fela and compare to wulomei. It doesn't make it hard to figure out the origin
@@chajose5 Bro don’t mind them whenever anything is built on lies it is bound to fall, Ghanaians were very happy to see Nigerians artist win but because they want to be shady and try to erase us from our own music you will see what will happen just like how they have to leave their country and come to ghana for peace, because of their shady and corrupt ways 9ja raise afrobeats to a certain point and then Ghanaians will be put back on top, just watch. So let them continue to lie, they themselves know afrobeats is not theirs that’s why anytime they get called out by Ghanaians they get so triggered
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
Shocked that Mo’Cheddah wasn’t mentioned
I was shocked wen I saw this on Netflix ❤️
Shock for what? Y'all low lives
Guys I read the history of afro beat and amapiano and the book said that afro beat came out first in 1970s while amapiano came out in 2010
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. 🤣🤩😍
Lol. Nope. This is a Nigerian sound. The whole world doesn’t revolve around you ❤️
lol u playing yourself, can u speak the Nigerian language in the music? no , can u create the afrobeat beats? , no, so what u mean by without Afro american " nothing ok, create another Afrobeat and lets see. matter of fact be specific.. what u mean?
@@macsanatic go watch the Netflix documentary. Hip hop hugely influenced our sound. They also influenced fela's sound too with their jazz. Infact fela travelled to America to learn jazz from them
Lmao when it's good you're quick to claim your part of the cake.. Uh? .. 😂..
@@freshoilonyou So am suppose to believe that? hope u know us Nigerians started that rap thing in our language centuries ago? Exampls this is just 70s we've been doing this since the 16OO, the Americans just have the media to blow things that aint yours . hence we made sure we did our documentary for our afrobeat before yall start to jacket it u should know better my G dont let the west play i
It is fairly widely accepted that . Griots were historians who told rhythmic stories of the past to their villages over the simple beat of a drum. i believe igbo too was rapping acapella to the Kings just like the yorubas.
. ua-cam.com/video/PKacqCSGiqE/v-deo.html
Afrobeats sound so much like reggae/dancehall from Jamaica
Not at all😂
Fela Kuti formed afrobeat and is from Nigeria we don't sing Reggie we sing afrobeat
the creator of afrobeat is ethiopia , congo and cote d'ivoire
😂😂😂 😂😂😂
@@ZAZUtakiyaho is true is not nigeria i love nigeria music but ce n'est pas le nigeria qui as créer l'afrobeat dite la musique nigerienne c'est mieux
FELA KUTI IS THE KING
wow,i cant wait for the back story
The Backstory is here, they are doing the Season 2 soon
I like how they merged the Ghana 🇬🇭 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 flag 🤍🔥
Oloriburuku getat of hear go and make your highlife popular
Ofcos u will 😹
Banku boy
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 it already is what do think this new sound is that is making Nigerian artist popular, afrobeats is a merger of highlife and azonto,
@@staytruealways207 thief , who know ghana
That will never happen
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
You are funny, African movie started in Ghana 🇬🇭
🔥🔥
Où est le reportage ? On ne le retrouve pas sur Netflix
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Why don’t I see Davido??
I can’t find it on Netflix
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.
I’m on episode 4 but am finding it a little haphazard as you say. Are there any other things you recommend to read up on the history?
Thank you so much for this comment.
Does anyone know the name of the song that flashed at 0.04 second?
Where’s Davido???
My Sister same question am asking
He was not born then
Go watch it and see where they said the documentary was born after Davido’s o2 show.
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
Please don't kill yourself baby factory daughter.
The documentary was not meant to discuss who gives bangers back-to-back but the evolution of the music industry in Nigeria. Though I agree that it should have been more professionally scripted. They concentrated on Lagos, London, and yoruba that's all. They tend to glorify yoruba dialect more than pidgin English. They also give more credit to some hustling diasporans than the street in Nigeria. They completely left out any other influence that is not Lagos-London-Yoruba. J Martins, Inyanya, Timaya, Harrysong, Flavour and Chidinma deserve some mention.
When will this documentary be available on Netflix Brazil?
Afrobeat origin is Nigeria and it was fela.
The producers of this documentary did a bad job
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.
Nigeria invented afro beats man
@@SOKER_KING Ghana pls
@@lucky04Mick1 Who is the person that invented afrobeats in Ghana?
@@SOKER_KING Nigerians are the oyibos in Africa.. the put their name to some or their flag and claim the invented it.. very one sided documentary filled with yoroba artists and their origin. That five beats it's all over Africa. Less research made to include everyone else. Legends from other African countries were skipped on. You ses high life music is very common in Cameroon, Ghana, and many other countries. No mention of Daimond and others..
I was so excited obout this documentary to my greatest shock Nigerians and specifically the youroba clan was at the forefront claiming to invent something without giving merit where it's due.. still looking for approval from the west and forgetting everything their Fela stood for. I was disgusted and I think the great Fela's son said it the best. Shame on you Netflix Africa
Why is Ghana even mentioned? Why do they always have to squeeze themselves into our successs.
Because your Fela and other nigerians were in Ghana to learn and copy the Ghanaian sound and got the name Afrobeat from a Ghanaian. The story would never be complete without Ghana. Ghanaians are just not loud with their creativity and achievements like you people.
Always remember no matter how much you hate Ghana, there was Ghana before Nigeria.
@@papzdee9671 what is the Ghana sound? I don't think a bunch of nigerians singing in pidgin, Yoruba and Igbo, anywhere sound like Ghanaian. Your argument is centered on pains and jealousy for the success of Nigeria music. You people that fought Afrobeats? I remembered when you guys were calling for a ban on Afrobeats 😂 now wanting to claim the Glory you once despised.
@@AmbientSongss the Ghana sound is the one Mr. Eazi was talking about, the one he said influenced your sound and got your people so mad they wanted to Bury him alive.
The Ghana sound is the sound your country's hero Fela came to study before going global.
The Ghana sound is the sound your musicians keep trooping in to Ghana to take inspiration from, incase you don't know most of your top musicians like Davido, wizkid, burna, tekno are frequently in Ghana recording and learning from Ghanaians.
Your industry players and oldies know what Ghana have done and continue doing, it's your likes (the consumer) who just enjoy the music but are ignorant of what goes on behind the scenes that keep disrespecting Ghana.
Never heard any Ghanaian calling for Afrobeats to be banned, infact it was a Ghanaian DJ (DJ Abrantee) in London who coined the name "Afrobeats" not "Afrobeat" on his radio show to promote all songs from Africa which got people in London getting familiar with African music.
Anyway, go watch the Netflix documentary and learn something, even that background beat in this snippet is a typical azonto intro type beat.
You're a typical Nigerian, full of pride and ignorant.
@@papzdee9671
LMAO
Deluded Banku citizen
Always forcing things
@@GeorgeMB07 deluded Eba citizen, the truth is in the netflix documentary told by your own ebagerians, watch it 😉
Afrobeats is Nigeria and Nigeria alone stop this Ghana shit
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
Not even a clip of Davido. Hmm
A backstory without giving props to the originators, Fela and Sandra Izadore?
You didn't watch the whole video
I did. They bare gave them any credit.
@@fabiac1 lol they already have alot of documentaries and ressources about them... Now there's a new generation that also need to be recognized by history... That's fair.
Afrobeat (Fela) and Afrobeats (current wave of Naija music) are not the same thing
@@IkesLionsDen Nigerian did not create this modern sound it straight from Ghana, did Nigeria popularize it and take it to new heights absolutely but the originators…no
Nigerians stole it from Ghana
Ghana never created it. All credit goes to Nigeria.
How can something that you never own be stolen from you?
@@DeenChild go n watch the documentary n re-comment. Y'all can never write off Ghana's influence on Afrobeat. We started n Nigeria popularised it. Go n watch the Documentary
@@jeffreyantwy8775 Ghanaians was doing Hiplife and Highlife not Afrobeats. There are difference sounds between Hiplife, Highlife and Afrobeats.
Just recently Ghanaian artists started doing Afrobeats and also trying to sound like Nigerian.
Always jealous, celebrate other people's success and then maybe one day you too will be celebrated.
Nigeria"s Afrobeat/Afrobeats will keep giving you nightmares 😂
