Davido says American artists now favor Afrobeats, showing the genre has gained their respect
Nigerian music star Davido recently talked about how Afrobeat has made a major impact on the world music scene, especially when artists from other countries want to collaborate.
In a chat with Kiss Fresh UK, Davido explained that Afrobeat’s popularity has surged in Europe and America, changing the way people view Africa and its culture.
“I spent a lot of time in Europe this summer and noticed a big shift. People are really into Afrobeat. Even American artists are more interested in making Afrobeat music than sticking to their own styles,” he said.
Davido added that Africa’s cultural influence now goes beyond music. “People now see Africa differently,” he pointed out. “There’s new respect, not just in music but also in areas like fashion and food.”
