Unity Throwbacks: Pure Afro-Caribbean Heat!

It’s Unity Cup weekend! Celebrate the finals with throwback bangers from Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago - featuring WizKid, Destra, Beenie Man & more.

This week on 1Xtra’s Throwback Thursday, we’re turning up the volume for the Unity Cup finals! To mark the occasion, we’ve pulled together a playlist celebrating some of the biggest musical exports from the nations at the heart of the tournament - Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago.

Expect nothing but throwback fire from legendary artists who’ve soundtracked carnival seasons, street parties and late-night dancefloors across the globe. We’ve got iconic tunes from WizKid, Fuse ODG, Beenie Man, Patrice Roberts, Mr Eazi, Machel Montano, Destra Garcia, Sean Paul, Arrow, Shaggy and more.

Whether you're repping your country or just here for the vibes, this is a mix that brings the culture, the energy and the unity. Lock in and turn up - it's a proper celebration of Afro-Caribbean music.
