The musical conversation between Africa and Latin America goes back centuries. Rooted in shared African diasporic traditions, both Afrobeats and the many musics of the Latinidad draw heavily on complex rhythms, dance-provoking grooves and vibrant storytelling. In more recent years, artists like Ayra Starr and Anitta, OMAH LAY and Ozuna, Rema and Bad Bunny, J Balvin and Mr Eazi have fortified that connection, blending Afrobeats with reggaetón, Latin pop, dembow and salsa to create globally undeniable bangers. Afro Ritmo is the playlist collecting the latest and greatest of these cross-continental link-ups. This playlist is updated regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
