Is there Afrobeats music that is sung in Spanish (that is not Reggaeton)? (self.afrobeats)

I like Afrobeats.
I do not like Reggaeton.
I like Spanish.
But every time I search for Afrobeats in Spanish it's just Reggaeton.

fun fact: I wrote the Wikipedia page for Afrobeats (en.wikipedia.org)

I'm quite proud of it :) I managed to get it nominated to "Good Article" status.

Literally 88.1% of the page was written by me (aka HarrySONofBARRY), total of 95,999 characters!

I remember before, Wikipedia did a really awful job of just slapping Afrobeats under Afrobeat.

Anyway - good primer to the genre if you're interested!
