Chatuye :: Ahmuti

Chatuye is a group composed of musicians from Dangriga, Belize, who only got together in Los Angeles in 1981. There, they quickly became major exponents of the newly-formed afrobeat scene, garnering attention from world music enthusiasts that were emerging in the US in the 1980s. As such, it was one of the first— though certainly not the last—bands to be described as “afrobeat” without being from Africa.
