Afrobeats

“We have arrivedâ€

The UK’s first official Afrobeats chart has been launched by Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 1Xtra. For many it’s recognition that’s been a long time coming. But there are some who think a new British chart could dilute the authenticity of the genre.

The Next Episode follows the journey of Afrobeats from Africa to the UK and looks at how the music has contributed to the rise of Black African Pride.

Hosted by Linda Adey.

Soundtracked by Â鶹ԼÅÄ Music Introducing, Lola Rae, Ezi Emela, Mista Silva and a whole host of Afrobeats artists.
