From the horns and grooves of classic afrobeat to the global takeover of modern afrobeats, our African-music sessions bring the rhythm that's moving the whole world right now. Add amapiano's log-drum bounce and afro house's hypnotic swing, and you've got a sound that's impossible to sit still to.
Afrobeat began as Fela Kuti's revolutionary fusion of jazz, funk and West African music — a sound with a message. Decades on, its descendants dominate playlists from Lagos to London to New York. On Wicked Beats Radio we honour the roots while riding the wave, spotlighting African artists and the diaspora carrying the culture forward.
Our resident DJs weave afrobeat and afrobeats through the schedule all week, from feel-good daytime sessions to weekend parties built around the biggest anthems. Want to catch the vibe live? Check the schedule to see who's bringing the African heat and when.
Turn it up and feel the rhythm. Afrobeat and afrobeats radio, live and free, only on Wicked Beats Radio.
