In the realm of West African music, few genres hold as much significance and affection as Afrobeat. This genre, which blends highlife, jazz, and traditional African drumming, has been enchanting listeners since the 1970s. Its unique sound is marked by vibrant brass arrangements, captivating rhythms, and improvisational performances. Beyond being merely a musical style, Afrobeat represents a cultural phenomenon that mirrors the political, social, and economic contexts of its era, confronting established norms and amplifying the voices of the underrepresented.

​Tare Raine, the lead vocalist of the Adelaide Afrobeat Collective and originally from Nigeria, perceives Afrobeat as a vibrant celebration of cultural heritage and musical interchange.
