Afrobeats is built around the drum. Underneath the singing and the keyboards, you'll almost always hear fast, bouncy drum patterns from West African music traditions like Yoruba talking drums and Highlife. That drum is what makes you want to dance.
Some of the biggest stars in Afrobeats are Nigerian. Burna Boy and Wizkid have both won Grammy awards. Tems has sung with Beyoncé. Davido fills stadiums all over the world. Their songs are streamed billions of times - songs that started in a studio in Lagos.
The word 'Afrobeats' (with an 's') is sometimes confused with the older 'Afrobeat' (no 's'), which was invented by a Nigerian musician called Fela Kuti in the 1970s. The new style took some of the spirit of the old one and mixed it with newer sounds from around the world.
What makes Afrobeats special is how it mixes languages. A song might switch between English, Yoruba, Igbo and Nigerian Pidgin (a fun mixed-up English used across Nigeria) all in one verse. The whole world can sing along, even if they don't understand every word - because the rhythm is what carries the song.
