Afro music has taken over the world today, dancing on Afro banging beats has become a trend around the globe recently. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Dance schools in Europe and North America now train students on how to dance on Afro music, so even musicians in US are fast collaborating with their African colleagues in order to remain relevant in the industry. Musicians like the famous Akon now parade the streets of Lagos just to collaborate with Nigerian musicians. It is in regard to this global trend that I compile the list of music producers in Benue state, north central Nigeria to help those who are already in search of a good and experienced Afro music producer in Nigeria.
