AFRIKEMET is a band that emerged in Barcelona 3 years ago, in a memorable tribute to Papa Wemba, in the Afropolitan Sessions of Slow Walk Music. They play a modernized version of popular African music from the 60s / 70s. Styles such as soukous, afrobeat and highlife were the soundtrack of the period of African independence, along with others from the diaspora such as jazz, soul and funk, among many others, gave identity to a new society. The musicians jumped from the colonial hotels to the new clubs in the cities, and the songs lasted as long as the nights, mixing native rhythms with the new global sounds of the moment. Thus, new genres were born that would last and evolve to this day, such as zouk, hiplife, coupé-décalé, afrobeats, ndombolo, etc.
