Rema

Afrobeat
Afrobeat

Rema is a Afrobeat act. Their sound grew out of Kel-P, Sade, Ayra Starr, FKA twigs and Ruger. Those roots explain a lot about how Rema arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Asake, Wizkid, Fireboy DML, Shallipopi and Omah Lay, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Chris Brown, Alpha P, 6lack, AJ Tracey and Yseult, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 55 connections around Rema, reaching back through Kel-P and forward to Chris Brown.
