IN THE MIX W/ NEW YEAR VIBE - AFROBEATS, AMAPIANO AND MORE 1*4*26 by DJ Dee Money

Cha Cha Nation, welcome to another episode of the Cha Cha Album Review Series on the Cha Cha Music Review Podcast, my name is Hafeestonova (Your Musical Plug, Creator of the Energy Force, African Music Amplifier)Today I will be talking about BNXN album titled Captain. Captain is a calm, intentional, and emotionally grounded album that shows BNXN fully in control of his sound and direction. Rather than chasing hits or virality, the project documents a season of growth, clarity, and maturity. The album blends Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, and soft R&B with restraint, making it cohesive and immersive from start to finish.Press play to listen Album Link👉 https://open.spotify.com/album/5jqvO2VFTZ4n5MlE393wwT

One Song is sharing an episode of the new podcast Fela Kuti: Fear No Man. When the world is on fire, what can music actually do? Host Jad Abumrad recounts the true tale of one of the great political awakenings in music. Fela Kuti was a classically trained Nigerian musician who traveled to America, only to return to Nigeria and transform his sound into a battering ram against the state. Doing so, he created a new musical language of resistance called Afrobeat. But when the mix of art and activism got too hot, the state pulled out its guns and literally opened fire. In this episode, we hear how Fela's music had the power to move hearts, change minds, and heal the deepest wounds.

Jad Abumrad's new podcast, Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, digs into Fela Kuti's life, the good and the bad because he not only pioneered Afrobeat and pushed against the impacts of colonialism but he was also a deeply complicated and flawed man who left a wake of inspiration and trauma.

Investigations continue following the death of 20-year-old Karen Lojore at Afrobeats artiste Asake's concert in Nairobi. Karen died following a crowd crush as fans tried to access the show. Concerns about safety and crowd control at large entertainment events have been raised. We hear from Karen's aunt as the family prepares to lay her to rest, and from a Kenyan journalist who was inside the venue and describes the moments as the situation escalated.Then, we turn to West Africa's end-of-year cultural phenomenon, Detty December. In Lagos and Accra, December is now synonymous with packed concerts and booming nightlife. But as the season grows more expensive, some locals are questioning who it's really for.

A spectacular graphic novel about the life and times of the legendary Fela Kuti—the Pan-African frontman, multi-instrumentalist, sociopolitical powerhouse, and father of Afrobeat. In Fela: Music Is the Weapon (Amistad, 2025), artist Jibola Fagbamiye and writer Conor McCreery team up to tell the remarkable origin story of one of Nigeria's most famous sons, the King of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, who rose to superstardom with his band Africa 70 in the 1970s, during a charged political period for his nation. A once-in-a-lifetime musical talent who innovated the musical genre Afrobeat, Fela was also an outspoken critic of the Nigerian military regime. Fela focuses on a pivotal moment in his life, when he and his mother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, the renowned Nigerian suffrage activist, were ruthlessly attacked in their own home by soldiers who suffered no repercussions for their violence. It also explores Fela's complex relationship with women, including his mother and Sandra Izsadore, the American singer and activist who revitalize and inspired him. Over the course of his life, Fela married 27 women, fathered numerous children, and founded the Kalakuta Republic commune, where he and his band lived, declaring themselves independent from military rule. As rich and original as its subject, Fela complements the historical with the surreal, featuring parallel dream world sequences, set between this realm and the next, in which Fela receives visions about his future and the dangerous path he will have to walk. Chronicling Fela's perilous journey to capture his destiny—to become the King of Afrobeat, and to advocate for Pan-African unity in the face of European imperialism and white supremacy—this masterful biographical graphic novel celebrates this enduring legend and his legacy, offering inspiration for our own troubled time. Jibola Fagbamiye is a visual artist based in Toronto. His work draws inspiration from his two great loves: African history and North American pop culture.

Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria's funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents “We Must Credit Nnamdi Kanu & Mr Eazi for Detty December,” hosted by TMT & Koj.A quick Yoruba linguistics lesson kicks things off (“Ten is happening,” decoded), before the boys audit Detty December's origin story: did Nnamdi Kanu inadvertently shift December migration patterns—and did Mr Eazi brand the season by popularising “Detty” through his many Detty events?They trade receipts, timelines, and jokes, then price-check the present: Lagos Airbnb listings touching $9,000 for 11 nights, plus a playful side quest blaming Maleek Berry's “Eko Miami” for the city's glossy rebrand.Finally, Spotify Wrapped enters the chat—Koj pulls a youthful Spotify “age” of 22, TMT clocks in at 73—and they dive into their top artists for 2025 before closing on a Nollywood riff inspired by the just-concluded S16 movie festival.It's Yoruba lessons, Detty December origins, Afrobeats, rap music, Spotify Wrapped, and Nollywood—served with signature Submaroach mischief.

A spectacular graphic novel about the life and times of the legendary Fela Kuti—the Pan-African frontman, multi-instrumentalist, sociopolitical powerhouse, and father of Afrobeat. In Fela: Music Is the Weapon (Amistad, 2025), artist Jibola Fagbamiye and writer Conor McCreery team up to tell the remarkable origin story of one of Nigeria's most famous sons, the King of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, who rose to superstardom with his band Africa 70 in the 1970s, during a charged political period for his nation. A once-in-a-lifetime musical talent who innovated the musical genre Afrobeat, Fela was also an outspoken critic of the Nigerian military regime. Fela focuses on a pivotal moment in his life, when he and his mother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, the renowned Nigerian suffrage activist, were ruthlessly attacked in their own home by soldiers who suffered no repercussions for their violence. It also explores Fela's complex relationship with women, including his mother and Sandra Izsadore, the American singer and activist who revitalize and inspired him. Over the course of his life, Fela married 27 women, fathered numerous children, and founded the Kalakuta Republic commune, where he and his band lived, declaring themselves independent from military rule. As rich and original as its subject, Fela complements the historical with the surreal, featuring parallel dream world sequences, set between this realm and the next, in which Fela receives visions about his future and the dangerous path he will have to walk. Chronicling Fela's perilous journey to capture his destiny—to become the King of Afrobeat, and to advocate for Pan-African unity in the face of European imperialism and white supremacy—this masterful biographical graphic novel celebrates this enduring legend and his legacy, offering inspiration for our own troubled time. Jibola Fagbamiye is a visual artist based in Toronto. His work draws inspiration from his two great loves: African history and North American pop culture.
