Hi my people
On this episode of the Speaking of Afrobeats Podcast, I was both the host and the audience.
Learning about Alté music from my friend Oma Bear. An amazing source of knowledge on the Alté culture.
"Alté is Nigerian lingo for 'alternative,' underpinned by a freedom of expression through any medium,"
Alté music is a genre I would describe as Afrobeats’ younger sibling.
Like Beyonce and Solangé.
Afrobeats is Beyoncé, the mainstream pop genre loved by everyone.
Alté is Solangé; creative and entertaining, with its own unique energy.
In this episode, we talked about the emergence of Alté music. Sparked by Teezee, FreshL, and Boj, members of DRB Lasgidi collective.
Artists who consciously deviated from the norm, creating a sonic shift in music that can be heard in mainstream Afrobeats today.
We discuss the current state of the Alté culture rounding up with our hopes for the future of Alté music.
Alté music offers listeners freedom from the music status quo. It’s music for cool people.
If Alté music sounds like your thing,

Hi my people,
Afrobeats evangelist here.
The Bible says man shall not live by bread alone,
Well, I say, my people should not live by Afropop alone.
You see the music Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy make, that's Afro-pop.
If you love Afro-pop, imagine Afro-country, Afro Rock & roll, Afro K-pop, and if you're hardcore, imagine Afro-Trance music.
Wouldn't that be fun?
In this episode,
I talk about other Afrobeats music variations I would love to hear.
I introduce you to an amazing artist who has dipped his toes in the Afro-country music pool.
Encouraging Afrobeats music producers to give us what we want.

Do you love Afrobeats?
Did you know there was a genre before Afrobeats?
Did you know that genre is responsible for a lot of the other genres out there right now?
It’s the first episode of the Speaking of Afrobeats. In this episode, I’m taking you back to the basics. Before we had the Afrobeats we all know and love.
I share my thoughts on the connections between Afrobeat, Afrobeats and other international pop culture genres like Rnb, soul, jazz, house music and even classical music.
Even though I know it’s there, I’m still trying to figure out the Afrobeats and classical music connection.
So, if you’re a believer in the power of Afrobeats and you’ve figured this one out already.
