What is African Beat?

AfroBeat is a vibrant genre originating from West Africa, particularly Nigeria, blending traditional Yoruba music, highlife, and jazz with funk and soul influences. Known for its complex rhythms, percussive beats, and socially conscious lyrics, AfroBeat gained global prominence through Fela Kuti in the 1970s. The genre often features extended instrumental solos, call-and-response vocals, and a strong political message. Modern AfroBeat has evolved, incorporating elements of hip-hop, dancehall, and electronic music, making it a global phenomenon. Artists like and have brought AfroBeat to international audiences, solidifying its place in contemporary music.
