Afrobeat

Afrobeat was created by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti in 1963, synthesizing Highlife with funk and jazz influences. The genre gained global popularity in the 1970s, featuring complex polyrhythms, call-and-response vocals, and brass sections. Fela used Afrobeat as a vehicle for political activism, performing in Pidgin English and Yoruba to reach working-class Nigerian audiences.
