Ayo Shonaiya is a name that everybody should know. Not because he's an artiste himself, but he's the cord that connects nearly everybody in Nigeria's Afrobeats industry. Twenty years after he got started as a music manager with the Fuji legend KWAM1, he has released the authoritative documentary about the Afrobeats genre. Afrobeats: The Backstory will premiere on Friday April 2, 2021 in Lagos. In this interview with Boombuzz, he tells all the stories that birthed this important piece of history.
