How Scarborough Became a Powerhouse for Afrobeats in Toronto

Scarborough has become one of the driving forces behind Afrobeats in Toronto. Known for its vibrant Nigerian and African community, the area has produced some of the DJs, promoters, and student leaders who carried Afrobeats from small gatherings to citywide stages.

From campus parties to Scarborough lounges and community halls, Afrobeats found a home where culture, music, and energy collided. The neighborhood’s influence has helped push Afrobeats into Toronto’s mainstream nightlife, shaping how the city hears and celebrates the sound today.

This video explores the role Scarborough played in building Toronto’s Afrobeats scene, the people behind its growth, and why this part of the city continues to be a powerhouse for Afro-inspired music and culture in Canada.
