FELLOW Nigerians my people, This is not the first time you'll see this, alot of ghana and other youtubers cannot get views, comment, without mentioning Nigeria.
funny mention how many popular Ghanaian RU-vid's grew their channel with Nigerian content....just be humble Ghana got independce as a nation before Nigeria...football;music and movies all was large in Ghana then before even when you guys were still fighting for freedom from colonial powers
The debate over the origins of afrobeats is pointless because when any Ghanaian artist does afrobeats they are criticized for sounding like Nigerians. They prefer to categorize their music as hiplife or highlife.. However, the majority of Ghanaian artists do rap and dancehall and they don't get criticized for it. Nigerians never excluded Ghanaians from the afrobeats movement, rather it was the Ghanaians that didn't want to be part of the movement. They were for the dancehall and rap. Now that the Nigerians have built afrobeats into a recognized global brand, some Ghanaian are claiming they originated it when their people are not even allowed to do afrobeats.. It's sheer hypocrisy. You want to claim the glory for something you preclude your own people from being a part of. Ghanaians attacked Nigerians for many years not supporting their dancehall and rap music only for them to turn around now to claim glory for afrobeats.. Till this day, the top Ghanaian acts are not highlife or hiplife artists but dancehall and rap.. Why all this talk about Fela and Nigerians coming to listen to and learn music in Ghana. If I need to listen to a genre of music, why do I need to travel down to the location when I can buy the record. Fela studied music in the UK but who are the persons that taught Fela music??? These are the kind of things that are problematic with the Ghana narrative. The persons who claim to be the originators and the teachers are nowhere. Ghana has highlife and hiplife till this day. These 2 genres are not in dispute and Ghanaians have done absolutely nothing with it. Thanks to the gentleman who called in to explain that even highlife is a fusion of traditional West African rhythms with European instruments and sounds. Music is evolutionary. Ghanaians are still stuck in the 40s with their music. I find it really surprising that the Nigerians have taken their music global and Ghanaians are here discussing a documentary about music without even discussing the state of music in Ghana.
a common research on goggle on every possible website across the world would inform you thay Afrobeats is a prodigy of Ghanaian highlife and mixture of jazz; and other west african sounds.
Fela learnt nothing in Ghana. As he visited Ghana, he also visited Cameroon and Kenya. Stop with these nonsense narratives. Nigeria is Afrobeat/Afrobeats and Afrobeat/Afrobeats is Nigeria.
@ Dope Mp3 Ok, "Fela learned NOTHING in Ghana", fair enough. Better still, you can even make a case that Fela actually NEVER travelled to Ghana. It would still be regarded as your opinion, and you'd be entitled to it, but I have observed a trend from many Nigerians on this RU-vid forum: You hardly conclude your opinion without throwing insults, especially when the issue has anything to do with "challenging" GHANA. Just above your own comment, another Nigerian by name, "Aframaco" argues that " If the republic of Benin or Togo or Niger were English speaking countries, Ghana would be irrelevant in every way to Nigeria" Throwing out such tantrum lacking in logic and reasoning against Ghana, smacks of some sort of complex to me, doesn't it?
Who sang Afrobeat before fela visited Ghana? 😂🤣🤣. The whole debate is around the fact that Ghanaians wish they are the ones successful in entertainment like Nigerians do.
You hit the nail on the head. Ask yourself why all this debate didn't come up 10 or 15 years ago? Now that Nigerians has finally made the breakthrough Ghanaians want to claim it. 🤣🤣🤣
@@gingerbreadmangangafarmer2251 Go and watch Ebo Tailor interview on a Ghanaian TV called Dj pakorich and hear what he said about who found Afrobeat. Then come back here and apologise for your willful ignorance
I think you forget that Nigeria have different genres of music ..... Fela did Afro beat which is clearly different from the Ghanaians sound ! Some artists here in are doing afrobeats more like the fusion of different sounds We have apalla music , highlife, ogene, gyration music etc But you don't see those other artists complaining here in Nigeria, Please learn to leave us alone !
Ghanaians complain from morning till night about Nigeria's Dominance and Ownership of Afrobeats...but do you know that Ayo Shonaniya(The producer of Afrobeats, The Backstory), came to Ghana to interview Ghanaians b4 the Documentary? But as usual, the Ghanaians refused to contribute to the documentary. Now, here they are crying foul and wailing that Nigeria owns African Music Industry and Afrobeats.
Because no one wanted to be caught on camera lying. These fools know afrobeat or afrobeats (whatever these morons wanna call it) is Nigerian culture. They even impersonate us when they do the genre ahaha sad people
Burna boy is an Afro fussion artist... And Ckay of yesterday was just named the pioneer of Emo-Afro beat.and Ghana is still fighting for afrobeat meanwhile Emo afrobeat is the third best genre from Africa. Ghana wake up.
We are sayin it because u ppl trying to use it to disrespect us ur selling out arenas that’s great doesn’t mean u can belittle us and when we tell u the orgins u get mad
@@julianaansah6367 first of all; Ghana didn't create afrobeat so stop believing the lies you are been fed. Fela Kuti created afrobeat and Ghana wasn't the only country he visited or lived in during his journey he lived in Lagos, London, New york etc Ghana was not the only place he went to and his musical influence came from all over but here we are with Ghana claiming origin of afrobeat, Fela fused alot of black sound which includes highlife(does it mean that Ghana created afrobeat? hell no), he also infused some element of Jazz in to his music and i've not heard any American claiming to be the originator of afrobeat, he obviously was deeply influenced by some indigenous Yoruba sounds too. Ghanians will never cease to amaze me such an envious and ignorant people, I just want to believe their are some exceptions though.
Common stop spreading lies on this platform, Fela never came to ghana to learn afrobeat. fela came to ghana due to the fact he was running from the military dictatorship in Nigeria. Fela study music in Uk and US and when he arrive in Africa he change the sound of his music by infusing fuji,jazz, highlife and drum into the new sound through the Late Tony Allen and coin it Afrobeat. stop spreading lies please wizkid and co came to learn music from ghana? unbelievable. please watch Late Tony Allen story on youtube to get the true story of the origin of Afrobeat not this lies u guys are spreading. i won't be surprise if you guys claim hip hop and R and B
So at 7.25 what you Ghanaians are saying is that one Abrantee Boateng, a Ghanaian DJ born in 1981, is the one that pioneered Afrobeats? And the guy even has that line on his website. OMG Ghanaians, who did this to you people? You have moved from your claim that Fela learnt Afrobeat in Ghana to claim pioneering Afrobeats, the second generation of Afrobeat genre? Does Ghana do Afrobeats and does Ghana have any music genre that is their own? You also claim Nigerian gospel musicians learned their craft in Ghana. You also claim that Nigeria's Nollywood was birthed in Ghana. Nigerian banking industry that has dominated Ghana and is also present in other African countries, you also claim they started in Ghana. Ghana also claims to have made Nigeria's Dangote the richest black man/African? Ghanaians also claim to be behind Nigeria's thriving fashion industry. Nigeria's rice farming started booming from 2018, as a result of govt targeted support but Ghanaians claim that a Ghanaian, that went to Nigeria to see how it was done, is behind the success. But Ghana has an almost non-existent rice farming; just about 13,000 farmers to Nigeria's 1.4M rice farmers Ghanaians also claim to have set up Nigeria's technology industry that is best in Africa and competes with the best in the world but Meanwhile, Ghana does not/can not compete in any of these. Why are Ghanaians like this?
funny as a Ghanaian reading this but damn do your own research and you won't be sentimental...Ghana is big African nation on the global stage for a reason
@@mushke2647 Can you define the term "global stage" and tell me which country is not there? Can you also help me define the term "big African nation" and tell me how Ghana is one and then list the countries that are not? You see how you Ghanaians and Ghana, perennial under-achievers who always beg for support from its neighbors, int'l groups and communities, are very prideful and delusional. Now back to Afrobeat, do you know Ebo Taylor, a Ghanaian musician from the 60s, still alive today? Everything below are his own words from an interview with The Viny Factory in 2018. He met and hung out with Fela in London between 1962 - 1965 1) The Black Stars fused highlife with elements of jazz. “Fela used to say to me, ‘Why are we Africans always playing jazz?’,” says Taylor. “He said jazz was for the Americans and we should be doing our own thing. But of course jazz later played a big part in Fela’s Afrobeat, just like it did in my music. 2) I feel like I’m still playing jazz but with Ghanaian rhythms. There are American influences in my music but there is African culture behind it. Along with jazz, James Brown and funk brought changes to my music. Fela introduced it to Nigerian music and I did the same sort of thing in Ghana.” 3) a new generation of Ghanaian musicians are rediscovering traditional highlife. “It is still a minority of people who are interested in traditional music,” he says. “Most young musicians in Ghana are getting their ideas from overseas, and maybe mixing in some highlife or Afrobeat So lemme explain these to you since you lack comprehension; Ghana's type of music is highlife. Ghana created its own version of Highlife called Ghana Traditional highlife, which is a sub-genre of the global Highlife genre but mixed with some jazz, funk and local Ghana traditional beats. Fela's Afrobeat is genre of its own; it is Nigerian local beats mixed with some global highlife, jazz and funk. Ghana's Highlife and Nigeria's Afrobeat. DO NOT MIX THE TWO TOGETHER TO CLAIM BOTH dummy.
@@isoryte201 am laughing at your delusional unfactual and situational analysis am even shocked such level delusion exist but I will give you the thumbs up for being open minded enough to present your opinion and am not the one to fight or oppose it. You cam keep think and believing that history...but a simple goggle research can bring you to reality ok...Just type highlife music history...what do you know about Ghana than me...you are just funny but continue pretending to not know the Black Stars Is The Real African Giant...we might have slacked in global promoting and preserving so much crafts and arts but we still know history and the present know what Ghana is.....you can do your own research am done.
@@DE-hi9mc Yes ooo. The world as a whole started in Ghana. This people are terrible. I saw on one vlog, months ago, where Kenyans were discussing their electric car, Ghanaians jumped in to berate and belittle Kenya; calling Kenya small boy to Ghana, Accra bigger than Nairobi, said Kenya has the biggest slum in the world and .....wait for it...they also claimed that Kenya got the electric car technology from Ghana. How??? Ghana that has just one car assembly shop, Katanka, that assembles Chinese cars. No car manufacturing business in Ghana but they still claim ownership of electric car technology. Wow for this people. Just wow.
How can Fela go to Ghana to “ learn” Afrobeat? That he liked the Ghanaian music of the time is never in question, in fact his mother was an contemporary of Kwame Nkrumah! Fela had a band called the Koola Lobitos right there in London England! He named his music Afrobeat and it entailed a whole heap of genres to come up with that! If the Republic of Benin or Togo or Niger were English speaking countries, Ghana would be totally irrelevant in every way to Nigeria! It’s that simple! I remember Hiplife ( very boring sound), but I don’t know any Nigerian artiste who played it!
@@mushke2647 the Google in Ghana or the one every one else uses? I don't see any were in Google were the recorded that Ghana taught fela anything. Besides, why do I have to rely on western media to tell our story. Fela and Afrobeat happened in Nigeria and we are the ones who has the right information about Afrobeat to put out.
@@moore1523 sharrap! Even your name of your country you "stole" from ancient history! There is not One Inch of your country that was in the Old Ghana Empire! Every thing una dey "borrow", even our pidgin English! Boring boring dull people!
How come Ghanaians can’t do Afrobeats as well as Nigerians if truly Fela learned Afrobeat from Ghana? Is high time Ghanaians stopped claiming ownership of everything that is good and trending in Africa…You guys a crazy…
We don’t claim ownership over everything first of all we are humble u are the ones who rather do that ur own Nigerian said it in the documentary what do u want from us again u tried to used the Afrobeats to disrespect Ghana forgetting we have a huge hand in its creation
@@julianaansah6367 thank you my dear, their fellow Nigerian did the documenetary and yet they still want to bash us for being a huge player pf the creation of the sound...with many not knowing Fela kuti came to Ghana (livin in Kumasi) to learn and join popular higlife bands before going out to create his own band and sound with a mixture of jazz; fuggy etc
That documentary from Ayo Shonanya was totally wrong. Afrobeat is Naija and Naija is Afrobeat. The questions I keep asking is: Who taught Fela Afrobeat in Ghana? If Afrobeat was truly from Ghana, why are they no Afrobeat artists from Ghana? Who are the Ghanaian artists doing Afrobeat? Then, why is Ghana not promoting Afrobeat instead of reggae and dancehall originally from Jamaica???
@@realebonyqueen7485first understand aforbeats literally means African beats; Ghanaians have afrobeats sounds and just that it's top artistes didn't brand themselves as such...apart from Burna Boy who id the only mainstream top artiste from Nigeria who has constantly branded himself as an afrobeat artist.. davido and wizkid were all just doing their music without that tag...afrobeat genre is the new tagline for African originated sounds/beats...In Ghana kelvynbwoy;datkovibes;eugene official; camidoh; adina;mzvee and mugeez all have been doing afrobeats without having that tagline
Y'all don't have anything useful to do with your time. While you lots are losing sleep over Nigeria, they are busy growing and making strides beyond your comprehension. Keep wasting your time and energy on irrelevant issues.
You guys are very funny,keep talking while we Nigerians keep winning, first of all you guys should learn what music business means,before we can talk about were afrobeats is from.
please Afrobeats is different from Afrobeat. Afrobeat originated from Nigeria through Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Tony Allen. Afrobeats is not a genre but rather a collections of different Africans songs.
Ghana has moved from 80/20 falsehood to ban Nigerian music campaign now to Afrobeats documentary. I tot there were learned people in Ghana. If Ghana wants Nigeria to do a music documentary for them it will cost some $millions. Nigeria is no saying no to Ghana but it is not free.
I wish I am invited to Ghana TV one day to explain to them that bcox fela came to pick up a beat from Ghana doesn't means u own Fela entire sound. If there is internet during that time Fela wouldn't have come. Nigerians are using a lot of Amapiano sound now but why is South Africa not saying we stole there sound, same thing with when with makosa. I will advise u guys to listen to Nigeria Fuji then u will understand where our sound comes from.
@@TheKofinyarko Afrobeats is Nigerian movement not African........Africans pls learn to create ur own stuff and not steal someone elses shine. It's so wack
I have asked ghanaians several times to please mention the name or group that Fela went to ghana to learn Afrobeat from? Because since Nigerians started taking Afrobeat to the world, ghanaians like they always do, are now claiming it thiers. They also claim highlife music to be thiers, which maked me wonder; Nigeria with the largest concentration of the black race, with over 400 ethnic groups didn't not creat any music genre. ghanaians will try to steal anything that is successful. So Nigerians also went to ghana to learn film making? These ghanaians😂😂😂
Ghanaians can be really funny, so because a Ghanaian DJ decided to play sounds or music from various African countries to African audience in diaspora he automatically becomes the creator and originator of Afrobeats as a genre!
@@Sweet_Teaa_ You claimed that "there wasn't a name that was worldly known for the genre" is incorrect. Fela had created a genre he called afrobeat ( without "s") decades before, though the afribeats ( with " s") as a genre don't sound remotely like Fela's.
A really sad people. I just watch them in amazement. A people without direction but hate and envy drives their motivation for competition with Nigeria.
What makes a Fuji Music Road Manager an authority in Afrobeat? Have you asked yourself that? He is not even a musician. You should listen to the real deal Ebo Taylor. That man has nothing to lose or gain at his age, he has seen it all and played in gigs with the best worldwide.He has come out to say the truth about Fela much to the disappointment of your entertainment media in Ghana. Even if as Zapp claims that Fela’s Afrobeat is different from today’s Afrobeats, we cannot deny his vibe and swag that the likes of Burna and other Nigerian Afrobeats artistes embody that is creating interests from all races worldwide.
Afrobeat was a recreation of the Yoruba traditional folks music and drumbeats embellished with ideas from several other influences which includes Britain, US, Congo, Ghana, Caribbean, South Africa etc.It is a terrible insult for Ghana to try to claim the origin of the genre of the music.
Baba, I tire oh!😂😂.. How Fela sound take resemble all the types of music we’ve been putting out since 2000s?🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😁. O su mi Mehn! I love watching them whine though 😃
The question is who is the afrobeat artist in Ghana that taught Fela? Fela studied in the UK in 1950s at that time, Ghana's highlife reign supreme. Nigerians listen to highlife at that time, Fela then left Nigeria to UK to study music in the late 50s with the thought of making Highlife music in the future, but he was also expose to JAZZ music in the UK. When Fela returned to Nigera, he made Highlife-Jazz due to what he was exposed to. Cutting the story short, in the 60s, he played around many sounds and come up with afrobeats. Then created a group called "Afrikan '70" and Fela and his new group play nurtures the sounds in his "Afrikan Shrine" as it is popularly called. Even the Highlife-Jazz can not be tagged "Ghanaian own" because there was difference no matter how little let alone "Afrobeats", whatever influence you to create something doesn't own it but your creativity and ability to be allowed to be influence actually make things happen. Our brothers in Ghana should stop been entitled, join the train or make your own. No denying there is great influence from Ghana
@@jeffreyantwy8775 Ghanaians dae lie too much,I think say na dance hall unna dae do,if we live Afrobeat for unna,and begin to push nightlife una go run leave Afrobeat

Even jollof rice that their immigrants learned from Nigeria in the 70s and 80s has now become theirs. I visit Accra and Takoradi regularly in the 80s, never for once did I find jollof in their restaurants. Inferiority complex is a disease!
@@annabelkeisha1157 how many Ghanaian dress that way...and damn you know nothing about Ghana we are ahead of Nigeria is a pioneer in many things in Africa...there is a reason why we called the Black Stars...just do your research bro...Nigeria make things huge and popular and that we lpve you for...
U are claiming fela came to Ghana to learn afrobeat, have u people forgotten that fela came to Ghana when he had problem with Nigeria government then in late 60s and early 70s, and fela started having problem with Nigeria government when he started singing afrobeat to confront Nigeria government bad bad attitude, so fela has been doing afroabeat before he went to Ghana, he just went to Ghana for like a year in order to avoid Nigeria government trouble because he was a wanted by Nigeria government. He moved to Ghana for an exile in order to avoid Nigeria government, he was later also dragged back to Nigeria a year after when Ghanian government were thinking he has been influencing Ghanians against the government. So who is d Ghanian artist that has been singing afrobeat before fela afrobeat.
So much gaslighting from these Ghanaians. For what exactly? To claim Afrobeats? Y'all should be embarrassed at the kind of crap being spewed here. DJ Boateng didn't start or create Afrobeat sound. He had a show called Afrobeat where he plays general African music. Naija music called Afrobeats is a 'SOUND', and is a genre on its own, not 'NAME' of a show. Pls do mark the difference. They are two different things. Fela's Afrobeat (without the S) is solely his creation based on influences from his traditional home sounds..... Fuji music, Apala, then foreign influences..... Jazz, soul and of course and a tiny beat of highlife. Name one Ghanaian that played Fela's Afrobeat before he came out with the sound? None. Fela played with a band the Kola Lobito's in the UK. Sounded Funkish. Thank God for the Ghanaian veteran that called in to debunk your narrative. He said Felas Afrobeat does not sound anything Ghanaian, and he's so right. Ghana actually stole HIGHLIFE sound from Liberia/Sierra Leone freed slaves. It is documented. It was not originally Ghana. But Liberia and Sierra Leonenians don't drag that with you. You had highlife, hiplife and Azonto and all died in your hands. When Nigerians jumped on Azonto you guys complained so much that we want to seize the sound. Nigerians dropped it and it died in your hands. When Afrobeats started, y'all mocked it saying it was repetitive and boring. We kept fine-tuning it, and now that it has gotten global appeal y'all want to jump on it, and even claim it. You guys are very rude and impossible. Exactly how we helped your movie Industry to grow and thrive by sidelining our own Nollywood stars to give Ghanaians actors an opportunity. Later Ghanaians started saying they made Nigeria movie Industry. My word ! You guys are ungrateful and full of it really. Haba ! Your movie Industry died again when we pulled out. We opened the doors for Netflix for African movies including Ghanaian movies, infact every entertainment doors we have opened for Ghana, yet it's all moaning and whining about Nigeria with you guy's. Amapiano is south African sound, but it is being banged all the world today thanks to us who ventured into SA borrowed the sound, collaborated and it's now been heard all over the world. The south Africans are very happy at the development. Yet Sammy Flex of Ghana is now using his platform to stoke enemity btw SA and Nigerians. Unfortunately for him the South Africans are not as ungrateful and petty as Ghanaians. They are quite happy at the attention Amapiano is getting all over the world. Focalistic played with Davido at the O2 Arena this year. A first for South Africa. Give Nigeria some credit and stop claiming what is not yours. Afrobeat/Afrobeats is wholly Naija made full stop 🛑 If you want glory, work for it. You guys look silly trying to claim Afrobeats for yourself. Stop this your obsession with everything Nigerian.
Ebo tylor who worked with fela said fela was the creator of afrobeats. Ghanians should please mention the name of the person that fela learnt afrobeats from 🤔 Please Ghanians what is the name of the Ghanian man that y'all claim he created Afrobeats 🙏
What Ayo Shonaiya did more or less was to catalogue the evolution/ journey of Nigerian music... he started filming/recording as far back as 1999 while working with Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (K1 De Ultimate)... the narrative may not be 100% but he captured all those events...everyone has the right to put out their own take...his Nigerian and he chronicled 🇳🇬 own journey...😳😳
Ayo Shonaiya conclusion was lazy. He says there is a five beat pattern used in most Afro Beat songs but not in all. He says this pattern no matter the inflections is influenced by Ghana. So because of that percussion he point to Ghana as a major influence. This conclusion is lazy and has always been lazy. A five pattern percussion does not make Afrobeats. There is so many things that comes together to make Afrobeats. It is simply a controversial statement.
@@moore1523 What fact do you refer to? It is Ayo Shonaiya's opinion and beg to disagree. What does something being in favour of Nigeria has to do with the truth? Music is universal and sounds simply travel through various means. I have known five beat patterns since I was a child in the 80's. I am sure it existed prior to that time in various cultures. I am a proper church boy, there are various patterns of percussion and nothing is new any longer. Shonaiya not only claimed a particular five pattern beat is a Ghanian influence on Afrobeats but insinuated that every variation of a five beat pattern emanates from that one. That is a big fallacy. Five beat patterns are not strange to the world. One can claim that there may be a particular five beat pattern associated with certains types of Ghanian music. But it stretches reality to say a five beat pattern known as Ghana bounce is the backbone of Afrobeats records. It is an intellectually and musically lazy conclusion to reach especially if you claim to be researching historical fact. I think Ghana has influenced the new Africa pop sensation of West African origin, just like the music has been influenced by Nigerian rythm and beats, congolese music, reggae, hiphop etc. It is a melange of sounds and rhythm. It is simply popular music.
Ghanaians people like talk talk know wisdom you people keeping talking rubbish Nigeria music is taking over the world I'm proud to be Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬👍👍👍
These Ghanaian presenters are the problem...in the same Documentary, in 2nd episode Ghanaian beats was discussed...these guys are always after Nigeria 🇳🇬 that is why they will always be behind...
So you'al know that afrobeats originated from Ghana but didn't care to share the information until Nigeria started making waves with it. You all are just funny 😂😂😂😂
Ghana did not do afrobeat till it was popular so they have no story to tell Ghana did not have any act doing afrobeat from the day afrobeat was created to 2015 Just because a Ghanaian that was working with Fela suggested the name to Fela doesn’t mean Nigeria should tell your story Or because Fela took some sounds from Ghana Please he also took from other countries even American Jazz Fela created afrobeat by bringing many sounds together not just Ghana sound Some Dj’s do that too, many Dj’s go around the world picking sounds Ghana acts did not contribute anything to what afrobeat is today and that’s facts You guys were busy with hip pop, dance all and high life
Hip-pop, dancehall, highlife, pop, reggae etc that is all part of the afrobeats sounds! I feel like people wanna argue just to argue. Like did ya even watch the documentary?
@@Sweet_Teaa_ Bro, hip hop, reggae and highlife are not afrobeats sounds! Go and tell a Jamaican that the reggae he is doing is afrobeats and see if he won't give you a piece of his mind. Or tell an American that their hip hop is actually afrobeats. These genres are not afrobeats rather afrobeats has elements of these genres infused in it. Because by your assertion, it means that because your A-list artistes are doing dancehall, that means they are invariably doing afrobeats.
And mind you fela was already a major artist b4 coming to Ghana. And His sound is more of Jazz, Fuji than d sound he picked from Ghana. This Ghana wyin is getin more irritating. Do u guys even know we have our own Highlife for the south? Same as Liberia and serria Leone
the documentary was about the evolution of afrobeats in “Nigeria” 🇳🇬 you Ghanaians also have every right to make your own Documentary for your country, nobody is pushing Ghana aside. because Nigeria and Ghana loves each other so much that i sometimes forget we’re different countries. 😂
@@africanayasmin6210 blablabla, keep dreaming, fela came to ghana and learn what? Lol you guys are funny, no Ghanaian musician that is doing afrobeat during the time of fela till date, camidoh and gyaki just started doing afrobeat, ghanians are doing highlife not afrobeat, different genre
I would have loved it if the man that documented your story tell us what year did fela kuti came to Ghana to learn afrobeat then? There is a documentary about fela himself where he talked about how it all stated.
E weak me ooh! Even TuBaba and Psquare learned Afrobeat from Ghana.😂😂 Quite funny. That's the same way jollof rice and Pidgin English came from Ghana. I can't help but laugh.😂😂😂 Guys, the whole narrative is to bring the continent to the front. We are pushing Africa to the top of tge world. Whether it is Afrobeat or Amapiano, we are fighting to get what the continent deserve. BTW, I love Ghanaian songs especially Angela, Forever and Kunku the traveler. Most of Ghana songs are in your language!

Point us to any of Ghana music that sounded like fela before and after he came to Ghana.
@@africanayasmin6210 No Fala cannot live in Poverty Ghana then pls maybe he managed to visit and how come Ghanaians were not excelling then. Fake people Ghanaians barely speak English they just started using English now because of Nigerians Influence
Nigeria should start collecting money from this RU-vidr using their name to get view and make money on RU-vid, because it getting too much now, millions and thousands of people using Nigeria names to make money on RU-vid
Pls I need a clarity on this claim that Fela went to Ghana to learn afrobeat. Who are this band or bands he learned from. Were they not known in Ghana, wasn't there any recorded album, is there any song of from 19s that has closed sounds to that of Fela sound. And if studio was too expensive for this bands to record their song, where they not known locally? Yes it is true that Fela travel out of Nigeria possibly for knowledge Abt other major Africans sound , all I see Fela incorporated All major Africans sound in one which is called afrobeat. Play ur research if u have any band that sounds close to the beat that as being in existence B4 Fela emergence then fetch it out with fact. Then u can be given the accolade u deserve. Nigerians are not that bad.
So we can comfortably say that hip life originated in America. And highlife as well originated in America because these two rely heavily on influence from the west, talk about the use of guitars, and influence of hip-hop.

I hope you guys have seen the interview Ebo Taylor the man you guys claimed taught Fela afrobeat granted, he said he never taught Fela afrobeat beat and that Fela is the originator of afrobeat. You can see the interview on dj pakorich RU-vid channel & 3Fm 92.7 RU-vid channel ( interviewer was Giovani caleb). The funny thing about this conversation is that the light skinned lady said ghanians should do their own afrobeat documentary and say their own story, fine you guys can always do your own documentary but you can't hide the truth that afrobeat started in Nigeria by Fela which one of your legend's has attested to.
First of all u are the ones who we’re insulting us talking shit that ur better then us because of afrobeat forgetting the orgin is from Ghana and it’s not a lie ur own Nigerian said it in the documentary we are not lying even we named it afrobeat he even said it go watch the documentary obsessed with u it’s y’all who are rather obsessed
@@julianaansah6367 Masa Masa forget what you are saying. If we originated Afrobeats like you are saying why are we not promoting it and doing it better than the Nigerians? Look at the current state of our Ghana Music industry, it is absolutely nothing good to write home about and so instead of claiming the origin of something you don't really know the true history about, why don't focus that energy on Advising our Ghana music industry leaders to help make the music industry better by focusing on our own music genre (highlife) and work hard to perfect it so we can also impact the world with our own uniqueness rather than claiming afrobeat. Top music artists and legends in the world don't really care about the origin of the Afrobeats, they only care about the music and its quality and hows its impacting the world and growing as well as those who are promoting it. Because they look forward to working well and collaborating with them. So please and please let's focus on building our music industry and make it better or if possible like the popular saying goes, " IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM JOIN THEM"
@juliana ansah please name the musician who was singing Afro beats and thought fela Afro beat……. Thank God this is just event that took place in the 70s…… Ghana wants to re-write history
My guyy tell them. Is business at d end of the day and business is a secret.. Ghanaians can continue been emotional while Nigerian do the business .. 🍺
If you claim Ghana own afrobeat then for you to change the narrative is to be successful in what you claim to own, you can write article about Ghana owning Afrobeat then let your artists be successful in it.. Afrobeat is Nigeria 🇳🇬
You'all are crazy, which history? Fela came back from America and started afrobeat, fela lived in America for 6years. Fela learnt ***? You all are foolish for agreeing to that!
The greatest misconception is for a lazy man who does not do any research or read about history comes to a certain platform and spills out falsehood. Please go listen to Eboy Taloy a Ghanaian musician interview about the evolution of Afrobeat, it completely negates your narrative. The Nigerian artist, you are talking about today has worked so hard to earn all the plaudit they are getting today. Ghanaians should know hard work and consistency pays at the end of the day.
Since their history, who knows Ghana and music 🎶 ? Pls name one globally recognised Ghanaian musician from the past. I'll accept even a diasporan with Ghanaian roots. OK I just heard some eediat say Stormzy 😳. He's of this generation and barely gets recognised past the UK. Una dey craze for dat Ghana. I actually wish 9ja drop that one cumulative brand "Afrobeat" for which all Africa music is now categorized and rebrand that sh!t, so we can see how all these werey people go fit come lay claims over our sh!t.
This is my first time of watching this program and I must say that I am very proud of you guys. I love this program and please help Ghana 🇬🇭 Music and the entire Entertainment Industry because we are losing ourselves. We need to get it right. There are several of us who would be very happy to get our sound right totally before we step into the production system. GHANA 🇬🇭, we need a plateau to stand on.
@@TemiTeeO how is Nigeria going yo help Ghana with highlife?.... It's the time for Afrobeats, the investment is more in Nigeria, own the success but we own the genesis.
Mr Ghana.. How is the help goung to come... By singing Ghanaian artist or by what?... It their time with Afrobeats and it make fair sense to see them leading the success.. They more than any other. Fact
44:11 ..."we have to have this show again" like seriously...a round table settings for lamentations and delusions, come on , That's Ghanian problem, pretending to find solutions but actually doing anything but that.... Lemme help. 1: be honest to yourselves. 2: be objective 3: carve a niche 4: believe in it 5 stick to it 6: learn to evolve while maintaining the essence 7: expect no help from anyone ( even you are gonna eventually need it.

The highlife or hiplife you can claim with full chest as the creator without doubt, you ain't pushing that global. It's only where others succeeded with hardwork and consistency you think ahould be yours not them. Who are your current top 3 artiste, what kind of music are they doing? Dancehall, afro dancehall with rap music. Now explain how your current top artiste added to the reign of current Afrobeats. After eating your boiled egg and dry fish you come on air ranting why Ghana is excluded in the documentary. Push highlife let's watch howfa you can influence the world with it.
If you actually research the origins of highlife even, you'll l find that it was not an entirely Ghanaian affair , they just cut the other co- creators out of the story because they are not Ghanaian .
This funny ooooo every page I watch all Africa actist worried of Nigeria music. As a threat to their owe success. Hmmmmmm So why not work with d Nigeria actist????
