Afrobeat releases, week 43

This week's Afrobeat highlights include Yung Miami's debut album 'Watch Dis,' featuring a range of collaborators, and a reimagined version of Manu Dibango's 'Soul Makossa' by Bob Sinclar. New tracks like 'Brotherly' by Tzy Panchak and Locko underscore the genre's emphasis on connection and shared identity. Archival recordings from Fela Kuti & Africa ’70’s 1978 Berlin performance and special vinyl reissues of 'Zombie' and 'Expensive Shit' mark significant milestones in the genre’s legacy.
