How time has shaped Afrobeats in Toronto

Afrobeats didn’t just appear in Toronto overnight — it grew, evolved, and adapted through the years. From the early days of basement parties and campus shows to sold-out venues and massive summer festivals, the sound went from niche to necessary. The culture pushed through language barriers, club politics, and even identity shifts, all while staying true to the rhythm that connects every diaspora.

This episode looks at how time has shaped the Afrobeats movement in Toronto — how each generation added their own touch, built their own spaces, and carried the torch further than anyone expected. It’s a story of growth, community, and resilience. Because truly, we came a long way.
