The impact of Toronto on Afrobeats global expansion

Toronto isn’t just another city in the Afrobeats story — it’s a driving force behind its global rise. What started in campus parties, student halls, and small venues across the city has grown into a movement influencing the world. Toronto became a second home for Afrobeats, nurturing artists, DJs, and promoters who bridged the gap between Africa and North America. From the 6ix, the sound found new audiences, new energy, and new momentum.

In this video, we explore how Toronto became one of the most important cultural hubs for Afrobeats outside Africa. From sold-out concerts to collaborations between Canadian and Nigerian artists, this city helped turn a local genre into a worldwide phenomenon. The 6ix didn’t just embrace the sound — it helped amplify it.
