OTID Entertainment: Pioneering the Afrobeats Culture in Cardiff’s Nightlife

In the pulsating heart of Cardiff’s nightlife, one name stands out as the true pioneer and pace-setter of the Afrobeats’ rise and cultural movement—OTID Entertainment. Established in 2021 as a student-led initiative, OTID Entertainment has swiftly become the torchbearer of Afro-Caribbean celebration in Wales, transcending boundaries and genres. Let’s delve into the vibrant journey of OTID Entertainment, a trailblazer in Cardiff’s bustling nightlife.

The story of OTID Entertainment originates from a quest for diversity and cultural celebration at the University of South Wales. Osamagbe, the vision bearer, noticed the lack of musical diversity at the Students’ Union night, sparking the inception of OTID Entertainment. What began as a student-led initiative rapidly evolved into a citywide phenomenon, with the brand’s success at the university leading to events at Club Ice Pontypridd and the launch of “RnB Wednesdays.”
The “Afrowales” series marked a pivotal moment, transforming premier venues like Pryzm, Revolution Club and Bar, District, Steinbeck and Shaw, and Smade Lounge in London into pulsating hubs of celebration. OTID Entertainment became synonymous with innovation and cultural resonance, bringing together a dynamic team of visionaries to curate unforgettable experiences.
