The launch of the Afrobeats Live streaming and virtual offering in 2021 will extend the Live experience to the rest of the world! With emerging markets in Africa, becoming increasingly profitable and the digital streaming world advancing beyond the download and physical era, Afrobeats music struck a chord with the youth in Africa and outside the continent. An eclectic spin and hybrid of Afrobeat pioneered by multi-instrumentalist and icon the late Fela Anikulopo Kuti. The umbrella term Afrobeats was an idea of an amalgamation of beats and various contemporary sounds coming out of the US, UK and Africa; West and East African Countries; Ghana and Nigeria were the principal infiltrators where the artists created music for western consumption but struggled to be heard for many years. DJ Abrantee was able to bridge that gap by creating The Afrobeats UK Movement touring the UK university campuses with artists, servicing their music to day-time radio, securing major placements, deals, collaborations and hosting some of the most ground breaking events in Afrobeats history and introducing Afrobeats to mainstream festivals like Glastonbury, Summerset House, Wireless and British Airways in-flight entertainment for the first time in history. The world eventually paid attention when Abrantee Launched the worlds first Afrobeats Titled show on Choice FM (Now Capital Xtra) on 11th April 2011. With the world’s attention on Afrobeats, the most exciting new music genre of the 21st century; Afrobeats Live continues its growth to legendary status and elevating the genre to greater heights as they announce the addition of the virtual platform, the 10 years celebration on the 11th April 2021, The Afrobeats Documentary and the string of live events throughout 2021.
