On this episode of In The Fries, hosts dive into a heated, passionate conversation tracing Afrobeats back to Liberia’s palmwine music and the Kruman seaman. They argue that Liberia and Sierra Leone laid foundational sounds later commercialized by Nigeria and Ghana, discuss diasporic promotion of African music in the U.S., and call for proper credit and unity across West African musicians and promoters.
