"Afrobeat" Afrobeat is a music genre which involves the combination of elements of West African musical styles such as fuji music and highlife with American jazz and later soul and funk influences, with a focus on chanted vocals, complex intersecting rhythms, and percussion. The term was coined in the 1960s by Nigerian multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Fela Kuti, who is responsible for pioneering and popularizing the style both within and outside Nigeria. This week we tell the story of Afrobeat in words and music. #podcastsonamazonmusic #podcast #music #glam #uk #rock #djkingblind #applepodcasts #googlepodcasts  #singer  #birds  #dj  #musician    #dancehall  #dance  #hiphop  #love  #reggae  #trap  #reggaeton  #afrobeat  #afrobeats  #music  #africa  #nigeria  #afro  #afrohouse  #wizkid  #afropop  #afrodance  #naija  #davido  #felakuti  #fela  #tonyallen  #burnaboy  #africanmusic  #jazz  #drummer  #felaanikulapokuti  #legend  #africa70  #art  Find all links for DJ Kingblind here: https://linktr.ee/kingblind
