Timaya had a mega hit in Trinidad & Tobago-In fact throughout the Carribean-with this banger.

This will largely depend on where you go and the circles in which you choose to move. The uptowner crowd will of course want to be entertained above all, and that suits OP's temperament. Thankfully, not everything is about entertainment.
Yeah it has grown. I think you said you lived in Inglewood before.Afrobeat night is the biggest night of the week at the Savoy in the wood. If you are familiar with the Savoy then you would know that it is a traditional west Indian club.

Afro beats has several sub genres. The first song above with Santi and Odunsi is the Alté genre. Other popular sub genres are Azonto and Zanku
Great thread.
Juice Riddim used to get the parties JUMPING. I was in college at the time (
). My friends and I were dancehall junkies we always had to be up on the newest riddims, lol. The 2000s were a GREAT time for dancehall but now I can barely listen. I'm tired of the "fukk tight p*ssy quint pon cocky" talk myself (perhaps it's me getting older).
Whomever says Afrobeats hasn't gotten dancehall out the paint is lying to themselves. A few months back my students went NUTS when we played Burna Boy at a show. They went insane. I'm talking African, Latino, West Indian, Asian...I just stood there stunned.
@ThiefyPoo you think we'll ever have an artist break out?

Naira Marley is one of the hottest Street Artists in Nigeria right now. He has a culture like following of fans with unruly behaviour, similar to Chief Keef at his peak. Not sure if he has the international appeal of Burna, Davido and Wizkid
