Afroswing

Afroswing, also known as Afrobashment, or less commonly Afrobbean, or Afrowave is a genre of music that developed in the UK during the mid-2010s, derivative of dancehall and afrobeats, with influences from trap, British hip hop, R&B, and grime. Commercially, the genre has been very successful, with many afroswing artists making it into the British charts.

Not to be confused with Afrobeat, a genre pioneered by Fela Kuti, or Afrobeats, of which afroswing is a derivative.
