About the Project

In the heart of Lagos, a new cultural wave is taking center stage. Afrobeats: The Sound of a Generation is a vérité-driven, character-based documentary that immerses viewers in the lives of young musicians, producers, radio hosts, and cultural gatekeepers shaping the world’s most explosive musical movement. This is not a retrospective of global stars already established, it is a portrait of becoming: raw talent before it breaks, of fame just out of reach, and of a movement that carries the rhythm of survival, resilience, and pride.
