Afrobeats MP3 Download – Free Afrobeats Songs

Afrobeats blends West African rhythms with hip hop, dancehall and R&B, usually at a relaxed mid tempo with bright percussion and catchy hooks. It is not the same as Afrobeat (no "s"), the horn-heavy 1970s style pioneered by Fela Kuti in Lagos, although that sound influenced it. Lyrics often mix English, Nigerian Pidgin and Yoruba.

Nigeria and Ghana are the main hubs. Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy took the sound to stadiums abroad, and a newer wave including Tems, Rema, Asake and Ayra Starr keeps it on international charts. Related styles such as Afro-fusion, Afro-pop and the street-pop sound of Lagos are often grouped under the same name.

Afrobeats songs are frequently re-released as remixes with a guest from another country, so the version matters. Search "Rema Calm Down" for the original, or "Rema Calm Down remix" for the version with a guest verse. Pidgin spellings can vary, so if a title doesn't match, search the artist alone and pick from the list. Every Afrobeats mp3 download starts on the song page, where the preview lets you check the track first.
