Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has been included in King Charles III’s specially curated Commonwealth Music playlist, a move that highlights the global reach of African music. The British monarch unveiled the playlist as part of his new Apple Music show, The King’s Music Room, recorded in his Buckingham Palace office. The eclectic lineup spans genres such as disco, reggae, and Afrobeats, featuring iconic artists like Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, and British singer Raye.

The show is set to air next Monday, March 10, in celebration of Commonwealth Day, which honors the cultural and historical ties among the 56 member nations of the Commonwealth. King Charles III, who serves as the Head of the Commonwealth, described the playlist as a deeply personal collection of songs that have shaped his life. “Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others,” the monarch said during the announcement.

Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, expressed his excitement about the inclusion, calling it a “huge honor” to represent Nigeria and Afrobeats on such a prestigious platform. His inclusion reflects the growing global influence of African music, which has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. King Charles III emphasized the joy that music has brought him, stating, “So this is what I particularly wanted to share – songs which have brought me joy.”

The monarch also praised the initiative as a creative way to mark Commonwealth Day. “This seemed such an interesting and innovative way to celebrate this year’s Commonwealth Day,” he said. The playlist not only showcases the diversity of the Commonwealth’s musical heritage but also underscores the unifying power of music across cultures. Fans of Davido and music lovers worldwide are eagerly anticipating the show’s release, which promises to be a vibrant celebration of global sounds and shared traditions.
