The afrobeat music kind has kept on spreading like 'fire' across the world, contending with other melodic types like soukous, reggae, hip jump, jazz and rhumba, apala, juju, sakara, highlife and even fuji. Nigerian afrobeat musicians like Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Rema, and Asake are now invited to perform at youth and other musical events in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. Fela Anikulapo Kuti, who was well-known for his Egypt '80 band, is credited with starting the afrobeat music movement, which has a global following.
Fela Kuti, the son of a social activist mother and a clergyman, used his lyrics to call attention to the wrongdoings of the military regimes of the 1970s and 1980s, particularly in the areas of corruption, nepotism, mismanagement of public resources, tribalism, foreign policy, manipulation, and violence in election campaigns.
