Born in Nigeria and Ghana, Afrobeats has become one of the most eclectic—and exportable—sounds in contemporary music, often incorporating everything from rap and dancehall to R&B and house. At the top of the playlist this week is music from Joshua Baraka’s debut album Juvie, which was executive produced by acclaimed British Ghanaian producer JAE5. Hear new music from Baraka on Afrobeats Hits alongside the rest of the infectious if indefinable sound of 21st-century Africa, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
