As the conversation around who truly birthed Afro-Dancehall intensifies, legendary Ghanaian reggae/Dancehall artist Samini has stepped in-not to claim the genre, but to remind the industry of the roots and ripple effects of his influence.
In a series of tweets, Samini made it clear that while he doesn't lay claim to the term "Afro-Dancehall," the movement wouldn't have existed without the groundwork he laid. "I'd be lame to claim #AfroDancehall.
I saw and inspired it into being with my #AfricanDancehall," he wrote, referencing his pioneering work fusing dancehall with African elements long before it became mainstream.
