Classic Afrobeat is a vibrant, percussion-driven musical genre that fuses traditional African rhythms with elements of jazz and funk, characterized by its complex grooves and energetic brass sections. Originated in the 1960s and 70s by Nigerian artist Fela Kuti, Afrobeat's hypnotic and politically charged sound is marked by expressive musicianship and social commentary, anchored by the interplay of guitar, bass, and drums alongside distinctive horn arrangements. The genre's long instrumental passages, polyrhythmic patterns, and call-and-response vocal styles invite listeners into a world of irresistible dance beats and cultural resistance. Artists like Marijata, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, and T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo embody the bold, raw spirit of Afrobeat, delivering its intoxicating message with a fusion of native languages and funky grooves that capture the heart of West African musical innovation.
