Afrobeat is a horn-driven, polyrhythmic, and politically charged style that emerged in Nigeria, spearheaded by bandleader Fela Kuti and drummer Tony Allen. It fuses West African highlife and juju with American funk, jazz, and soul to create extended, hypnotic grooves. Typical tracks revolve around interlocking guitar and keyboard ostinatos, elastic bass vamps, dense percussion (shekere, congas, agogô, cowbell), and tightly arranged horn riffs that punctuate the beat. Vocals often use call-and-response and socially conscious lyrics, delivered in English, Nigerian Pidgin, or Yoruba. Harmonically sparse but rhythmically intricate, Afrobeat prioritizes feel: long, evolving arrangements, richly syncopated drum patterns, and sectional dynamics that spotlight solos and collective interplay.

Afrobeats (plural) is a contemporary West African pop umbrella that blends indigenous Nigerian and Ghanaian rhythms with global Black music—especially dancehall, hip hop, R&B, and highlife. Typical tracks sit in the mid‑tempo 95–115 BPM range and feature syncopated, polyrhythmic drum programming (shakers, rimshots, congas, talking drum), rubbery sub‑bass lines, bright synths, and guitar licks that recall highlife. Vocals are melodic and hook‑driven, often delivered in a fluid mix of English, Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, Twi, or other local languages, with call‑and‑response refrains tailored for dance floors. Distinct from Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat (singular), Afrobeats prioritizes songcraft, club‑ready grooves, and pop structures. It travels easily across diasporas, seamlessly absorbing UK club influences and Caribbean cadence while maintaining unmistakably West African rhythmic DNA.
