Six of the seven are repeat flags already checked and confirmed on prior collections; those decisions are carried forward unchanged because an artist's documented country of origin does not change between collections. Houari Dauphin is a new flag on this date and was checked against an independent biography before being confirmed.","unit":"decision","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
