Them Horns! Now, only this year did i ever hear of Afrobeat. Its slowly growing on me. Only other artist i know of is Femi Kuti (who i actually heard of first)

I decided to post Fela Kuti since he is the pioneer of this genre. Any Recommendations?


Edit: shit man, im dancing in my chair right now.

shameless self bump.


seriously? no one else digs this? shit makes me dance like nothing else.

I imagine that all anyone knows is Fela Kuti so you've pretty much exhausted the thread already.

[Rusty Shackleford]

well shit.


i was hoping for a musical journey like black sabbath opening me up into my favorite genre.


well damn.

I picked up a record by Sonny Okosun a while ago. That's the only Afrobeat artist I know of besides Fela Kuti, and "Afrobeat" might be a stretch, since his music also has a bit of reggae and highlife influences.
