Throughout the world there are stories about music and politics that are similar to the ones in Wattstax. In Cuba, a communist country, a group of Cuban musicians called Reggaeton Duo Gente de Zona made a music video on the internet that went viral. The message spread awareness of issues in Cuba such as wanting the right to protest and political freedom. Like in Watts, citizens of Cuba used music to express their frustration with authority.  In Thailand, many people that were interested in K-Pop joined social media to follow their favorite bands. However, social media ended up exposing them to liberal ideas and many problems in Thailand, such as wanting the prime minister to resign, king to have reduced powers, and a re-written constitution. Many protests were organized to solve these problems. The similarities this shares with Wattstax is that famous people promoted the event, and people from minority groups are fighting for a cause. In Nigeria Afrobeats influenced the elections of 2023. The politicians used Afrobeats music to promote their campaign by dancing to it. The new generation of Nigerians made the political landscape more democratic since it was the Democratic politicians dancing and getting votes. This is similar to Wattstax because both promoted unity and expressed emotions and struggles. However the music in Nigeria was all about politics compared to Wattstax which was centered on cultural and racial struggles. Russia invaded Ukraine and shattered their culture. This caused a Ukrainian artist named Keri-Lynn Wilson and her husband to organize a music event, which raised spirits in Ukraine. This event and Wattstax used music and art to fight conflict.  Many of these countries share the same purpose and actions that Wattstax accomplished.
