# Talk:Afrobeats


### Afrobeats
Hello , Bernadine okoro, HarrySONofBARRY and Dxneo. Recently some  "new" possibly highly RS have been brought to my attention ( [1], [2] )  that predate for example  here and cited here Afrobeats#Nigerian afro house , and previously & even up until now, doing a quick Google search, yields other conflicting results ( [3]) which has obviously led to a major major misperception hence I'd like to apologize in advance , I believe these new sources could be possibly valuable for improving the article and upholding the purpose of the encyclopedia. I will also leave them on the afrohouse article, talk page there for further discussion and improvement of that article. Qaqaamba (talk) 10:30, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Qaqaamba if you believe that this is important then go ahead and add it as it would help readers to learn about the style of music. Although I should say that when i was adding Nigerian afro house to the fusion section i was referring to a fusion style of afrobeats and house which niniola used in describing her music as far back as 2015 she called it afro house. [4][5] Now if her afro house is the same as the one you are referencing then thats definitely debatable if you want to expand on that within the article then go ahead i do not oppose it unless other editors do so. But honestly, i don't think i should have added the nigerian afrohouse section to the fusion section as Nigerian Afro house is only done by Niniola with occasional mentions to sarz.[6] Bernadine okoro (talk) 04:54, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
Hello, my impression is that Niniola independently coined the term to describe her fusion of Afrobeats and house influences, unrelated to the genre in South Africa. With that in mind, I don't believe there is a point of confusion.
It is however of nebulous relevance. It doesn't appear to be a sound that's gained notability beyond Niniola, nor has it developed into a distinct fusion-genre independent of her. Perhaps a note in the general body of the article about artists mixing in house influences, but otherwise a seperate distinct header for naija "afro-house" is probably not necessary.

I've gone ahead with a WP:BOLD edit. Please let me know if you disagree with the changes, @Bernadine okoro @Qaqaamba. I have removed it from the fusion genres, and instead added it to the 2020s section after the list of new wave artists. HarrySONofBARRY (talk) 18:51, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
I am in support of this i think this is a fantastic idea. Bernadine okoro (talk) 18:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
