- Nigerian singer David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has praised the cultural renaissance in Africa for positively enhancing the continent’s image.
- The global achievements of Afrobeats, along with Africa’s cuisine and culture, have earned respect for Africans in the Western world.
Nigerian artist David Adeleke, often known as Davido, has remarked that Africa’s present cultural rebirth has a good impact on the continent’s image.
He stated that the global success of genres such as Afrobeats, as well as Africa’s cuisine and overall culture, had gained respect for Africans in the Western world.
Speaking in a recent interview with Kiss Fresh UK, Davido said, “This summer, I was in Europe a lot. I had like two gigs, but I was on vacation. And I saw that the landscape has changed. Two years ago, when I was in Europe, they were playing Afrobeats for straight one hour.
“I mean, people love Afrobeats. Everybody likes that sound now, even in America. Even when we want to collaborate with American artists and we want to do their own sound, they are like, no, no, let’s do Afrobeats.
“Now, the narrative [about Africans] has changed. The respect is there. Not only in music but in fashion, food.”
