Afrobeat is a music genre that combines elements of West African music with jazz, funk, and soul. It is characterized by its complex rhythms, polyrhythms, and improvisation. Afrobeat was pioneered by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti in the 1960s, and it has since become a popular genre around the world.
Afrobeat is often used to express political and social messages. Kuti’s music, for example, often criticized the Nigerian government and called for social change. Afrobeat has also been used to celebrate African culture and heritage.
