Afrobeats In India

Following @heisrema’s sold-out Calm Down Tour in India, we caught up with @sneha.shandilya—Afro-dance artist and member of the New Delhi BlindianProject community—about what this moment means for Afrobeats in India and her own creative journey.

Afrobeats isn’t just reaching Indian ears—it’s reshaping Indian dancefloors, classrooms, and youth identity. From Lagos to Ludhiana, a new rhythm is crossing continents—and communities are moving with it.

Stay tuned for her take on connection, choreography, and how Afrobeats is landing in India with swagger, syncopation, and soul.
