Filmed between Paris, Accra, and Bamako, Afrobeat Rules! traces the rise of Afrobeat, a genre born in 1970s Nigeria that blends rhythm, political expression, and unmistakable groove.
At the heart of the story is Seun Kuti, youngest son of Fela Kuti, performing with the legendary band Egypt 80. Through concerts, rehearsals, and intimate exchanges, the film captures his commitment to preserving his father’s musical and political legacy while adapting it to a new generation.
Around him, emerging African artists are reshaping the continent’s place in the global music industry. From the voices of Fela’s original musicians to vibrant live performances, this documentary offers an insightful and energetic portrait of a cultural movement that continues to evolve.
