Afrobeat

Afrobeat is a genre of music that combines elements of traditional West African music with modern jazz, funk, and hip hop. The genre originated in Nigeria in the late 1960s and early 1970s, created by Fela Kuti, who combined African rhythms with jazz, funk, and highlife. Since then, Afrobeat has spread across the globe and been embraced by many different countries and cultures. Today, Afrobeat continues to evolve as a genre, with many contemporary artists incorporating other styles such as reggae, soul, and electronica into their music.
