When it comes to seasons, they say there is a time and season for everything. The Afro-beat wave which grew from the sound originated by Fela Kuti, has been on the rise with Nigerian and West African artists carrying the flag on this one. However, it's critical to ask ourselves whether Afro-beat has reached its pinnacle.
It is also critical to ask ourselves what's next after Afro-beat and where the sound moves next. With artists like Rema, veering off a bit from Afro-beat from his latest album, Rave and Roses, he can be said to be somewhat engineering a new sound like on the collaboration he dropped with 6lack.
Major record labels have shown interest on what's going down with the music scene on the continent and therefore, it's only natural that we query, where the sound is headed next, and who are the next innovators in sound what will take us there, if the Afro-beat sound hits a pinnacle and starts to get phased out in a music revolution in the near future or the long term .
