I'm quite proud of it :) I managed to get it nominated to "Good Article" status.

Literally 88.1% of the page was written by me (aka HarrySONofBARRY), total of 95,999 characters!

I remember before, Wikipedia did a really awful job of just slapping Afrobeats under Afrobeat.

Anyway - good primer to the genre if you're interested!
