Some children of nowadays saying Fela and KSA never did afrobeats... SMH!
Fela is the originator of afrobeat as far as 9ja is concerned, and try to listen to synchro system by KSA before coming online to rant.
I'm sure you're surprised to see barrister there which is very correct cos the main vocal tone of today's afrobeats originated from Fuji, ask Wizkid he will tell you.

I've never been a fan of Orubebe, but I will not take this list.

Onyeka Onwenu is conspicuously missing.

Ekwe, Iyogogo, One Love, You and I, Dancing In the Sun, Odenigbo, Ochie Dike and a few of her other works were global world-class masterpieces.

She gave Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, Thione Ballago Seck, Youssou N'Dour and Salif Keita a run for their money and made them look like learners.

So good she was that Almighty Fela wanted to marry her just as exploitation to boost his global music ratings but she turned him down.

Without sentiments, ask yourself this question.
Was Sunny Ade globally reckoned before his duet with Onyeka Onwenu in "Wait for Me"?

If you are unbiased and a true global music critic, you'd understand why I feel that this award is meaningless if Onyeka Onwenu is not on it.

An Afrobeats Hall of Fame without an Onyeka Onwenu and a Sir Shina Peters is worse than an expensive wedding hall without guests.

Till you see my point, argue with my semen.

Afrobeats didn't just surfaced... Its the combination of juju, Fuji and high life that gave birth to afrobeats.
