if you are interested you can listen to the music sung by Griots when telling the stories of the past. There's video on youtube "Brikama Griots". Also Classical Mali music is pretty cool. Not sure who influenced who, but for me it has flamenco like elements. Cheers from el Caribe.
I am filipino but when I need beaats, I always turn to African music. never mnd that I don't understand the words. sometimes it gives me a feeling of it being played in a big dome giving me a sense of freedom under the skies. music is its own language, man.
Eyyyy Kenya to the world 🇰🇪🇰🇪 Fyi three members of Sauti Sol were in highschool together Bien-Aimé(vocalist,songwriter,guitarist), Chimano (vocalist & plays the saxophone) and Savara who Efra will be very pleased to know aside from being a vocalist,he is a percussionist,drummer & producer. Polycarp (guitarist & producer) the 4th member joined afterwards. They mostly mix Swahili & English. Efra the one you said you like is Chimano and his range is absolutely wild. They still do acapella on their channel. Whenever you get time check out their songs like Suzanna,Melanin,Short & Sweet,Afrikan Star and they even featured a choir from their former highschool in a song called Kuliko Jana.
@@De5tr0yer So what your trying to tell the world is that Afro which stands for African values is not for African countries? I am not a fun of Nigerian music but rather conglese, south african and East and central African music and I consider it Afro music!!! Nacsty C,ippa luppa,and all those musicians from that part arey all time favorite. Am so tired of you Nigerian people putting Afro beats down thinking that they don't have talent!!! Your musicians winning a grammy is not a praise. even Eddy Kenzo from Uganda won a BET award yet some people don't like his music!!!
@@De5tr0yer correction Afro beats not Nigerian music. Diamond platnumz is a good afro muscisian too,even better than some Nigerian musicians. I don't see the whole Nigerian thing going on . And am not jealous of any one. I know talent when I see one.
Moran. A The problem you guys from East African or Central African is just total envy and jealousy, and inferiority complex,See music is any sound that is pleasant to the ear 👂 that is music, you said that diamond is even much better than some Nigeria musician, 🤭 that is your opinion, but my sister in your Life and next life Nigeria’s musicians are not mate with any country, in Africa they’re like the the United State of America, in Entertainment in Africa,Note that, you can see that for your self, by the list of the songs this guys are reacting to Nigeria 🇳🇬 all the way 👑 🏆 and secondly there is something that is called Grace in music, not even talent, Diamond is the most Graced East African artist, not the most talented, Sauti sol are musically inclined and much more Talented than diamond, even Harmonize that is from his country, so get that, So Live the African Giants 🇳🇬🇳🇬 out of your mouth, Let’s enjoy the beautiful African music these guys are reacting for us ❤️ ❤️🎼🎼🎶🎶🔊🔊 Afrobeat to the world 🌎 one Africa ❤️
Afro beat is not afro beat unless your listening to Fela Kuti. You're talking about afro pop and afro fusion. Also amapiano is not a genre. Gqom and bhenga is the genre. Ama piano is a sound/style within the genres mentioned above. Its fused with the afro house sound which South Africa is renowned for. Most western deep and funky house artists, copy the sound from SA.
English speakers still limit this in English-speaking African countries when it comes to music, but you forget the Coupé-décalé among the Ivorians, even in Central Africa, you forget the Congolese who are very strong in music Ndombolo, Soukouss , Kwassa Kwassa. Angolans also Kuduro ... The francophone countries of Africa are there. I find them even better than the three genres of music you mentioned.
I would say rhythm is the highlight of most African music. There's lots of polyrhythmic texture and really intricately placed instrumentation. Also, I can't speak for other countries, but for Nigerian artists, they usually speak Pidgin, which is a form of broken English mixed with a lot of the local languages, including Yoruba, Ibo, and Hausa. The grammar is different, so for example when Tiwa says "I no come dis life to suffer," she's saying "I wasn't born to suffer." I think you'd get the gist of the message if you looked up the lyrics. Excited to see you guys do more afro music! Would love to see some Simi, Falz, Burna Boy, Partoranking, Niniola, Teniola, Adekunle Gold, WizKid, and Mr Eazi! And more Tiwa & Olamide! Love that y'all are staying true to the mission of the channel and really exploring all sorts of music.
@@davludi2612 As for me I dont like latest kind of music.Im old school.I listen to Oliva Mtukudzi,Miriam Mabeka,Sona Jobarteh,Culture Spears,Wiyaala BY4 etc Eddy Kenzo and Meddy. In the Pacific Islands we like Raggae so Lucky Dube always.
In Kenya, we have genres like Afro- Pop, Bongo Flava, Genge, Genge Tone (sub-genre sort of hip hop style), Kapuka (hip hop), Rhumba (very rhythmic like RNB/Soul but with traditional African beats)This is great, I would love for you to react to Sauti Sol, Xenia Manasseh Nviiri The StoryTeller from Kenya - Rhumba Jappani, Tems from Nigeria - Try Me, Akanamali - Samthing Soweto (South Africa), Sukarri - Zuchu (Tanzania)
Correction its not all the same gendre why so different. For example Nigeria has a afrobeat/afropop , Ghana has Afrodancehall, South Africa has Afrohouse and Amipiano etc. And the addictive effect the music gives you is because its raw unfiltered soul, make no mistake music originated in Africa. The same applies to the dancing.
@@deadass3545 girl, Afro beat originated in naij; Fela Kuti was one of the pioneers of Afro beat in general. Then it diffused into the rest of the west African countries and branches of ‘Afro’ came into existence.
Here in Ghana, we listen to everything from pop to high life. You name it,we listen to it. Jazz, R&B, hip-hop, country, Arabian music, dance hall...etc I could go on forever
South African Squad here. Been a supporter since day 1~ There are a lot of unique songs here where you can instantly tell its South African. Especially with Mafikizolo, The Soil and many many more. Thanks for reacting.
I see a lot of West African artists in the comments. What about diamond platnumz, fally ipupa, inoss b, hiro le coq, Os moikanos, C4 Pedro, Os banah, Neru Americano! Oh and Charlotte dipanda ft. Singuila! Please react to one of these too! All in all, Nice video! I love how y’all were vibing - very contagious 😆♥️🥰
As an african American, I’ve been following Afrobeats for a while now and there’s just nothing like it 🤷🏽♀️. I also listen to a lot of jazz and R&B soul. It’s SO beautiful to now understand the African influences in African American music and overall culture. Everywhere mother africa has touched(The diaspora) is LIT ok ? Love y’all ♥️🖤💚
In africa we love our afro beats music. I promise you if you played American hip hop in the club you will find few people on the dance floor. But the moment you play amapiano or naija music, every body is standing up to dance. We love to dance.
Afrobeats is largely consumed in west, that's like me as a south african saying in Africa we love Afro house, I would rather say, in southern africa to be fair
Songs I would suggest: Skepta vs. Wizkid-Energy Rema-Dumebi Teni-Askamaya Wizkid-come closer Ycee-Juice Wizkid-Joro Burna Boy- on the low Burna boy- Ye Runtown- Energy Runtown-Mad over you

Afrobeat is actually specific to west Africa (i.e Nigeria) and it's part of Afro Pop. South African Afro-Pop is different and mostly influenced by soul music. East Africa has its own version of Afro-Pop. In other parts of Africa, you get Kwaito (South Africa), African Rumba and Kwasakwasa (Central Africa). African hip hop is also different from country to country.
Am Nigerian and love mafizikolo....they are a great musical duo. They did a collab with a Nigerian musician....can't recall the artist tho...maybe Davido?
I'm so happy about this!! I grew up in Senegal listening to many different genres and about your question about Reggaeton, it is actually very popular in Africa, especially with millenials and Gen Z. I also want to say that salsa is also big there. You'll definitely hear many salsa songs (from Celia Cruz, Jose Cande, for example) in weddings, parties, first communions, etc... Senegal has their own salsa (Senegalese Salsa), which is inspired by Afro-Carribean salsa. Much Love to you guys
I’m excited!!!!! From South Africa and I have been watching almost from the beginning 💖💖 And my Apple Music is jokes...I’ve got music from all over the world...French music, Korean music, Latino music, music from the UK and obviously African (mainly South African) music etc. I kinda agree with Waleska, I’ve sorted my music by mood though less so than genre... I have a “dancing in the kitchen” playlist. A “Driving at sunset” play. A “late night” playlist. I’ve also sorted my music by aesthetics
also fun fact, in many parts of Africa people still communicate with drums, like morse code, literally just beating drums to talk to your neighbors like sending a text or a telegram, it's a dying art but I love it.
Just so you guys know, i love how you take time to break down the video, the sound, the rhythm and all there is to music. Not many people do it like ya'll.
I just wanna say that you guys are so SO talented! Your voices, the music production and basically the whole vibe were A👏MA👏ZING👏!!! I'm really just waiting for an album at this point.
hello guys am a Kenyan and can i say i love your channel i listen to all your content and it was a blessing to hear your reaction to Sauti Sol.They are a group of talented people who are role models to other artists in Kenya. so basically they are 4 members but originally they were 3 friends who loved music went to high school together later met their forth member who is a guitarist members are Bien- guy with shaved head, savara and the guy whom you all loved his voice is Willis Chimano. last member is polycarp the guitarist. other songs to listen to include' Live and die in Africa' 'melanin' ' short and sweet' and 'susanna' if you would like in your private saranghaee and may channel grow and grow this year
I'm Nigerian, dance and rap is my thing and I really do appreciate that you reacted to this genre. I did suggest PSquare,Yemi Alade is also good and I coulda suggested another favourite of mine-Phyno(rap),but most of the time his songs are in the Igbo language and I've not checked if there's subs
You are right, Yemi Alade is the legendary, I call her the Nicki Minaje of Africa,P Square are great but too romantic for me,Phyno is doing fine in terms of hardcore rap,while you missed Zoro,he is a real outlaw.I mean I will strongly vote for Nigerian's in rap and music's cause I listen to every music and I can read and understand 7 languages and I listen to musics from all this place including every Latino music I still say Igbos are very tough rapper's.
I absolutely love this. I am new to your channel but I love every minute of this video so far. Afrobeat music is something I have come to adore in recent years even to the point of playing it while I clean, do my college assignments, or even just to dance around the house. Thank you so much for introducing me to other artists and songs as well. I am definitely going to go check them out later. I'm not sure if you guys even take request but I would love it if you could listen to Soca music next, if you haven't done so already. Artists like Kes, Machel Montano, Teddyson John, and Erphaan Alves are my absolute jam right now and will have me out of my seat dancing. Again thank you for the video. I love both of your reactions and perspective.
So I just stumbled on your channel & this reaction i’d say is one of the best I have seen on TH-cam. I’d love to answer a few of your questions to the best of my knowledge. So I’m a Nigerian & in Nigeria we have different genres of music and we living in the country can tell you what part of the country it comes from . Afro Music is originally a Nigerian invention but now it’s sub divided, has spread round the continent and different African Countries & musicans have their own take on it. So there’s Afro Music , that stands alone then there’s Afrobeats, Afrojuju, Afro Highlife , Afro Alte, Afro Hip Hop , Afro Pop, Afro Fusion , Afro dancemusic , Afro R n B, etc. You’d notice that the Afro is added to stand alone / popular genres to make new genres and some of these genres can only be found in Nigeria . Now , not every African country has Afro music and it’s better to check with the artiste than to lump everyone together . Also , it’s a common mistake to say ohh African music is Afro Music , even some countries next door to Nigeria like Benin Republic don’t have Afro Music in their music genres . You chose really amazing music to react to & that’s dope . Tayc is a Cameroonian/Camerounian/ French Cameroonian unless he states he is just French , lol coz you were trying to be so right about it , don’t sweat it . Also it’s Bad Boy Tims ft Olamide ( pronounced Ola- Me-Day) not the other way round . We do pronounce our Rs in Nigeria , lol the French and Arabic part of Africa do roll their Rs. I don’t know what the Portuguese & other parts of Africa do though . I’d love a part 2 reaction , this was really , really fun . Also , I do listen to a lot of Reggaeton , I think it’s amazing, uplifting and makes me dance . Actually I listen to any good music from any where in world , it just has to have good vibes like African music . Lol , I think you dance when you hear African music because you are hearing the heartbeat of the continent, you just have to move lol but honestly it’s about the instruments used & the love put in. Our musical Instruments which varies from tribes to tribes even within the same country , add the extra oomph to our songs .
Please checkout amapiano song , this is a genre from south Africa Starting with : amanikiniki by bontle Smith and kamo mphela - phone yam by Alpha Kat - Sbwl by busiswa - zelele by jassi Disciples - shasha Woza
Funny enough...today is a Friday and its my first time watching your video. First thing that stood out for me about you too is that you are very intelligent. You are genuinely willing to learn about other artists and their countries which is beautiful. Thank you so much. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤❤❤
very intelligent analysis, I have some Latin friends they only listen to Afrobeat and music from home, the first time they listened to Afrobeat they immediately hooked, normal Latin music has a fundamentally African base with drums and percussion.
Afrobeats is originally Nigerian, there's Ghanaian highlife, South Africa has many genres house etc. But most music in west Africa is now being grouped under afrobeats for some reason, there's a common rhythm and groove pattern in afrobeats (without even hearing any lyrics)
Finally!!! I’m glad you guys are doing this. Been following up your channel for a while now. Welcome to the addictive afrobeat, from a fellow afrobeat enthusiast^^
That Sauti Sol thing, it's just syncopation. A very common feature in African music that we tend to overlook. The Congolese lay it heavy in genres such as Mutwashi and Rhumba.
I'm so happy to see you looking at Kenyan music! Sauti Sol is one of our most popular bands, and they have always created excellence. I would love to see you react to Burna Boy's albums (African Giant, Twice as Tall, or Outside) and Sauti Sol's latest project Midnight Train. If you could even dive deeper into East African Afro-Pop or Amapiano, that would be so cool. There are a lot of distinct sounds with the music from different regions of the continent, and I am happy to see your channel highlighting a fragment of that! Thank you for this video, reacting with an open mind and genuinely allowing yourselves to enjoy the music, and explaining the technicalities of music and sound production!
yesssss an afrobeats special! as a London born Ghanaian we love to bloody see it!! Love what you guys are doing 10/10 an absolute vibe. When you played woman del callao the guitar melody at the beginning reminded me of a Ghanaian highlife song called Ahomka wo mu by VIP, you should defo check it out
Watching this in 2024 and i speechless how truthful you guys are. Like how did i miss this🤯. I know you know that Afrobeats is what everyone wants to hear now. Even if it's sad you must dance, listen to omah lay songs, sad but you must move😅. Thank you guys please do More of this❤❤❤
Remember that Spanish music has Malian 🇲🇱 and Morocco’s 🇲🇦 influence due the moor conquest of Spain. I am South African and I studied the history of the moor. You can even listen to mali 🇲🇱 native music here on TH-cam and you will not miss the sounds you get from the typical old Spanish music.
@@theonly6359A Spanish music had Malian and morrocan influence due to the moor conquest of Spain, do you mean flamenco? what spanish music you're talking about
To answer the question about folkloric music from our respective countries...In Cameroon, we have Mbole, Makossa, bikutsi, benskin, just to name a few. they are not mainstream I think because they are sung in native languages and are very context-specific. So even in Cameroon, there are niches for every local genre.
Ayyy this was epic! I'm glad you guys discovered new artists and you also taught me a bit and made me intrigued about Venezuelan's music... Your former president used to be a great ally of my country,so we are into Venezuelan culture a bit like dramas and music... I am from The Gambia🇬🇲 And reggaeton is popular here but not as much as Jamaican Dancehall and American Mainstream music. We also have very unique music which I hope one day you'll be able to discover.... Efra seems to like cameroonian music,trust me Cameroon(a country that speaks both french and english),Ivory Coast and Congo have this musical genre that is crazy and makes everyone wants to dance....Love y'all 💜
You guys need to react to a recent song called "va dire à ton ex" which means "go tell your ex" from a french artist called DADJU. plus you can react to his other songs which are really popular in France.
This was such insightful reaction😊 You should definitely react to more Sauti Sol. They really have a whole different vibe and a wide understanding of music. Some suggestions: Kuliko jana(showcase more of their acapella history) Melanin Afrikan star Suzzanna Short and sweet Extravaganza Just some examples cause all their music is fire🔥🔥 Insecure

You guys make me appreciate our African music even more..🤍🧡🧡
Afrobeat is actually specific to west Africa (i.e Nigeria) and it's part of Afro Pop. South African Afro-Pop is different and mostly influenced by soul music. East Africa has its own version of Afro-Pop. In other parts of Africa, you get Kwaito (South Africa), African Rumba and Kwasakwasa (Central Africa). African hip hop is also different from country to country.
Afrobeat is Ghana's and Nigerians tapped into it but luckily for their numbers you've become the headliners
@@emmanuelasiedu9250 jealousy will give you heart attack.
@@muchichinjk Afrobeat evolved out of highlife and nigerian genres look it up
South African music is heavily house influence.
afro beat and afro beats are 2 different genres, one has ties to funk music in the U.S
Yoh as a South African I'm glad you are checking out mafikizolo🎊
Am Nigerian and love mafizikolo....they are a great musical duo. They did a collab with a Nigerian musician....can't recall the artist tho...maybe Davido?
@@belle1109 Yes, the song is' Tchelete'.
Please react to Burna Boy "On the Low"
Andy Ubumuntu "On fire"
Wizkid "Fever"
"African Beauty" by Diamond Platinumz & Omarion
Andy Bumuntu "Snack"
Ohhh yesss some burna boy would be litttt🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a Rwandan I'm actually happy and honored to see on fire on your list 😭🔥🔥
Waiting for on the low
Love this list from Tanzania
wasleska your song at the beginning was super dope. thank for doing what you do .
love you from Cameroon 🇨🇲
When you find someone that prounonces Nigeria correctly 😂❣️
I'm a latina in L.A. and I'm always bumping afrobeats. I still dont know what soco means but I looooove afro beat
Don't sweat I'm Nigerian and I've lived hear all my life and even I don't know what soco means
afrobeat is specifically Nigerian kind of music
@@kaaahtea lol really I feel a lil better
Soco means dance I think. I'm Nigerian but not yoruba. I have a feeling soco maybe yoruba language.
Soco is vibe... And can change depending on context. It could mean dance, rejoice, etc .. Its jus vibe
I'm so happy about this!! I grew up in Senegal listening to many different genres and about your question about Reggaeton, it is actually very popular in Africa, especially with millenials and Gen Z. I also want to say that salsa is also big there. You'll definitely hear many salsa songs (from Celia Cruz, Jose Cande, for example) in weddings, parties, first communions, etc... Senegal has their own salsa (Senegalese Salsa), which is inspired by Afro-Carribean salsa. Much Love to you guys
I’m excited!!!!! From South Africa and I have been watching almost from the beginning 💖💖
And my Apple Music is jokes...I’ve got music from all over the world...French music, Korean music, Latino music, music from the UK and obviously African (mainly South African) music etc. I kinda agree with Waleska, I’ve sorted my music by mood though less so than genre... I have a “dancing in the kitchen” playlist. A “Driving at sunset” play. A “late night” playlist. I’ve also sorted my music by aesthetics
also fun fact, in many parts of Africa people still communicate with drums, like morse code, literally just beating drums to talk to your neighbors like sending a text or a telegram, it's a dying art but I love it.
Which part of Africa to be precise? I've never seen that despite traveling in some of the most marginalized areas in Africa
@@miss_pauline if you'd like to go to remote villages in the forest
@@miss_paulineThe Yoruba land(s) of Nigeria.
Just so you guys know, i love how you take time to break down the video, the sound, the rhythm and all there is to music. Not many people do it like ya'll.
I like the fact they don't show only Nigerian music to generalize afrobeats. Yes, I am Nigerian.
But still doesn't change the fact that the Nigerian songs are better. Periodt

You guys need to totally check out the Kenyan band. Their Midnight Train Album is the shit...🙌🏻😩
Music can breakdown all that separates us,it connects us ❤much love from Soweto, South Africa 🇿🇦
I just wanna say that you guys are so SO talented! Your voices, the music production and basically the whole vibe were A👏MA👏ZING👏!!! I'm really just waiting for an album at this point.
Yes! I was waiting for this! As soon as you wrote "Recommend African music" i am so happy!
The first song "Loved By Me" was FIRE! The woman's voice and the groove was FIRE!
Sauti sol is simply magic in 🇰🇪 I'm glad you took time to create such content
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 eish!!Am so proud of their reaction towards Sauti Sol,thank you ❤️.
Omg I’ve been watching y’all’s videos like 4ever and not y’all Are reacting my favorite music I’m the whole world ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m sooo happy about this reaction. Those who don’t listen to Afrobeats are missing out
Yeaaah we have been waiting for the Afro reaction ✨... hope to see more of it 🔥❤️
Wow love your reactions.....love from Kenya
hello guys am a Kenyan and can i say i love your channel i listen to all your content and it was a blessing to hear your reaction to Sauti Sol.They are a group of talented people who are role models to other artists in Kenya. so basically they are 4 members but originally they were 3 friends who loved music went to high school together later met their forth member who is a guitarist
members are Bien- guy with shaved head, savara and the guy whom you all loved his voice is Willis Chimano. last member is polycarp the guitarist. other songs to listen to include' Live and die in Africa' 'melanin' ' short and sweet' and 'susanna' if you would like in your private saranghaee and may channel grow and grow this year
Been low-key waiting for this! 🔥
this was an amazing reaction guys love from Kenya
Ayyy much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
I'm Latín Afrobeat Artist! Me alegra que les guste el afrobeat!
The girl really understands music
Wonderful reactions
Afro beat is another level of vibe
I'm Nigerian, dance and rap is my thing and I really do appreciate that you reacted to this genre.
I did suggest PSquare,Yemi Alade is also good and I coulda suggested another favourite of mine-Phyno(rap),but most of the time his songs are in the Igbo language and I've not checked if there's subs
@@DaraXGolden Are you sure your comment's under the right thread
@@DaraXGolden wallahi you're on the wrong comment.
SKELETUN SKELETUN SKELETUN
You are right, Yemi Alade is the legendary, I call her the Nicki Minaje of Africa,P Square are great but too romantic for me,Phyno is doing fine in terms of hardcore rap,while you missed Zoro,he is a real outlaw.I mean I will strongly vote for Nigerian's in rap and music's cause I listen to every music and I can read and understand 7 languages and I listen to musics from all this place including every Latino music I still say Igbos are very tough rapper's.
@@inntoodeep1 Yeah Zoro should totally be up there, thanks for reminding me. He's really good
Beats are so hypnotic, sometimes Jazz like. nice to see a side of Afro beats that’s beyond Fuse ODG.

I absolutely love this. I am new to your channel but I love every minute of this video so far. Afrobeat music is something I have come to adore in recent years even to the point of playing it while I clean, do my college assignments, or even just to dance around the house. Thank you so much for introducing me to other artists and songs as well. I am definitely going to go check them out later. I'm not sure if you guys even take request but I would love it if you could listen to Soca music next, if you haven't done so already. Artists like Kes, Machel Montano, Teddyson John, and Erphaan Alves are my absolute jam right now and will have me out of my seat dancing. Again thank you for the video. I love both of your reactions and perspective.
So I just stumbled on your channel & this reaction i’d say is one of the best I have seen on TH-cam. I’d love to answer a few of your questions to the best of my knowledge. So I’m a Nigerian & in Nigeria we have different genres of music and we living in the country can tell you what part of the country it comes from . Afro Music is originally a Nigerian invention but now it’s sub divided, has spread round the continent and different African Countries & musicans have their own take on it. So there’s Afro Music , that stands alone then there’s Afrobeats, Afrojuju, Afro Highlife , Afro Alte, Afro Hip Hop , Afro Pop, Afro Fusion , Afro dancemusic , Afro R n B, etc. You’d notice that the Afro is added to stand alone / popular genres to make new genres and some of these genres can only be found in Nigeria . Now , not every African country has Afro music and it’s better to check with the artiste than to lump everyone together . Also , it’s a common mistake to say ohh African music is Afro Music , even some countries next door to Nigeria like Benin Republic don’t have Afro Music in their music genres .
You chose really amazing music to react to & that’s dope . Tayc is a Cameroonian/Camerounian/ French Cameroonian unless he states he is just French , lol coz you were trying to be so right about it , don’t sweat it . Also it’s Bad Boy Tims ft Olamide ( pronounced Ola- Me-Day) not the other way round . We do pronounce our Rs in Nigeria , lol the French and Arabic part of Africa do roll their Rs. I don’t know what the Portuguese & other parts of Africa do though . I’d love a part 2 reaction , this was really , really fun . Also , I do listen to a lot of Reggaeton , I think it’s amazing, uplifting and makes me dance . Actually I listen to any good music from any where in world , it just has to have good vibes like African music .
Lol , I think you dance when you hear African music because you are hearing the heartbeat of the continent, you just have to move lol but honestly it’s about the instruments used & the love put in. Our musical Instruments which varies from tribes to tribes even within the same country , add the extra oomph to our songs .
Ugochi, you've said it all! Love from a Naija brother...
Afro songs can not be silenced 🇸🇴✊🏾
African music is so multi layers beats over beats rhythm over rhythm people from the continent are genius
Please checkout amapiano song , this is a genre from south Africa

Not many are a fan, but I personally (as a South African) like to listen to different kinds of music around the world
If you are really interested in Sauti Sol vocals, you NEED, MUST react to Kuliko Jana.
My friend has been recommending me afro music but thanks to you for introducing me to more music!,
Funny enough...today is a Friday and its my first time watching your video. First thing that stood out for me about you too is that you are very intelligent. You are genuinely willing to learn about other artists and their countries which is beautiful. Thank you so much. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤❤❤
My love for Chimano is unexplainable. Agape love y'all. Chill 😂😂
Me too loool!
Her voice is so cute🥺
very intelligent analysis, I have some Latin friends they only listen to Afrobeat and music from home, the first time they listened to Afrobeat they immediately hooked, normal Latin music has a fundamentally African base with drums and percussion.
Afrobeats is originally Nigerian, there's Ghanaian highlife, South Africa has many genres house etc. But most music in west Africa is now being grouped under afrobeats for some reason, there's a common rhythm and groove pattern in afrobeats (without even hearing any lyrics)
GOT MY HOODIE ON FOR THISS!!
Finally!!! I’m glad you guys are doing this. Been following up your channel for a while now.
Welcome to the addictive afrobeat, from a fellow afrobeat enthusiast^^
I love it. Rema is so talented.
Hahahaha the first song. If you put that in tiktok it will go viral and trend for sure for filipinos. Their dances is like a dance craze.
That's my man REMA u should check out his new song bounce
His beats re always sick
That Sauti Sol thing, it's just syncopation. A very common feature in African music that we tend to overlook. The Congolese lay it heavy in genres such as Mutwashi and Rhumba.
Rhumba borrowed from cuba,Benga kenya was original.
Sauti sol thing tena?
I'm so happy to see you looking at Kenyan music! Sauti Sol is one of our most popular bands, and they have always created excellence. I would love to see you react to Burna Boy's albums (African Giant, Twice as Tall, or Outside) and Sauti Sol's latest project Midnight Train. If you could even dive deeper into East African Afro-Pop or Amapiano, that would be so cool. There are a lot of distinct sounds with the music from different regions of the continent, and I am happy to see your channel highlighting a fragment of that! Thank you for this video, reacting with an open mind and genuinely allowing yourselves to enjoy the music, and explaining the technicalities of music and sound production!
I massively enjoyed that Sauti Sol and Mafikizolo review!
NIGERIAN MUSIC Is actually fireeee
This video is amazing! Loved watching you guys describing the music! Africa to the world ✨✨✨
Guys one love from Cabo Verde 🇨🇻 ( it’s a little island from Africa) nice video ❤️
yesssss an afrobeats special! as a London born Ghanaian we love to bloody see it!! Love what you guys are doing 10/10 an absolute vibe. When you played woman del callao the guitar melody at the beginning reminded me of a Ghanaian highlife song called Ahomka wo mu by VIP, you should defo check it out
You guys deserve more subs honestly
React to insecure by Sauti Sol☺️ Kenya 🇰🇪 to the world🥳🥰
Africa to the world, love you guys.
Watching this in 2024 and i speechless how truthful you guys are. Like how did i miss this🤯. I know you know that Afrobeats is what everyone wants to hear now. Even if it's sad you must dance, listen to omah lay songs, sad but you must move😅. Thank you guys please do More of this❤❤❤
I’m glad that African culture is being recognized 🇨🇩
Remember that Spanish music has Malian 🇲🇱 and Morocco’s 🇲🇦 influence due the moor conquest of Spain. I am South African and I studied the history of the moor. You can even listen to mali 🇲🇱 native music here on TH-cam and you will not miss the sounds you get from the typical old Spanish music.

@@ericktwelve11 what is it that you don’t understand about my comment?
@@theonly6359A Spanish music had Malian and morrocan influence due to the moor conquest of Spain, do you mean flamenco? what spanish music you're talking about

I love these guys they are so awesome 👏 been a subscriber .
52:24 This was Sa's ringtone in 2016 I believe and it's still fire 🔥🔥🔥
Yes! I watch your k-pop videos and I'm really pumped about this...proudly Nigerian.
To answer the question about folkloric music from our respective countries...In Cameroon, we have Mbole, Makossa, bikutsi, benskin, just to name a few. they are not mainstream I think because they are sung in native languages and are very context-specific. So even in Cameroon, there are niches for every local genre.
West Africa, East Africa and South Africa have their own destictive sound, Check out Ugandan sound
Ayyy this was epic!
I'm glad you guys discovered new artists and you also taught me a bit and made me intrigued about Venezuelan's music...
Your former president used to be a great ally of my country,so we are into Venezuelan culture a bit like dramas and music...
I am from The Gambia🇬🇲
And reggaeton is popular here but not as much as Jamaican Dancehall and American Mainstream music.
We also have very unique music which I hope one day you'll be able to discover.... Efra seems to like cameroonian music,trust me Cameroon(a country that speaks both french and english),Ivory Coast and Congo have this musical genre that is crazy and makes everyone wants to dance....Love y'all 💜
You guys need to react to a recent song called "va dire à ton ex" which means "go tell your ex" from a french artist called DADJU. plus you can react to his other songs which are really popular in France.
They describe it so accurately
You guys are dope. Got me to subscribe to your channel. LOVE FROM NAMIBIA.
I'd recommend you guys to check out South Africa's Rap Music

This was such insightful reaction😊
You should definitely react to more Sauti Sol. They really have a whole different vibe and a wide understanding of music. Some suggestions:
Kuliko jana(showcase more of their acapella history)
Melanin
Afrikan star
Suzzanna
Short and sweet
Extravaganza
Just some examples cause all their music is fire🔥🔥
