Since its inception, the dance world dons of Major Lazer have been heavily influenced by world sounds, from Brazilian baile funk to Jamaican dancehall and beats and basslines beyond.
Now, a new documentary captures the trio -- Diplo, Ape Drums and Walshy Fire -- voyaging to West Africa during recent tour stops in Lagos, Nigeria and Accra, Ghana. Chasing The Sound focuses on the Afrobeats genre and how it has become a global phenomenon via African artists including Sarkodie, Amaarae, Efya, Teni and Mr. Eazi, the latter of whom features on Major Lazer's most recent single, "Oh My Gawd." Watch the Chasing The Sound trailer below.
