Yankari Afrobeat Collective

Yankari Afrobeat Collective is more than a band—it’s a movement. Since 2015, they’ve carried the fire of Afrobeat forward, pushing the genre beyond its roots while staying true to its soul.
With a sound built on the rhythmic foundation of Yoruba, Igbo, and other Nigerian languages, Yankari don’t just play music—they’re telling the story of a nation, past and future. A relentless, high-energy force on stage, they channel the raw power of Fela Kuti’s pioneering vision while forging their own path—driven by rhythm, rebellion, and the boundless creativity of Nigeria’s rich cultural landscape.
