Afro-jazz

Afro-Jazz is a vibrant fusion of African musical traditions and jazz, blending rich polyrhythms, indigenous melodies, and improvisational elements. Rooted in the rhythms of West, East, and Southern Africa, the genre incorporates traditional instruments like balafons, talking drums, and kora alongside jazz staples such as saxophones and pianos. Afro-Jazz often features soulful vocals, intricate horn arrangements, and rhythmic complexity, creating a dynamic interplay between African groove and jazz harmony. Influenced by both folk traditions and contemporary sounds, it embraces storytelling, spiritual depth, and spontaneous creativity, making it a powerful, evolving art form.
