"Afrobeat is a combination of traditional Yoruba music, jazz, highlife, funk and chanted vocals, fused with percussion and vocal styles, popularised in Africa in the 1970s."
This genre lends itself to early funk and it's lyrical content is very political, which is unsurprising when you consider where it originates from. The following video is music from a man called Fela Kuti and he is considered as being the creator of this genre. Great tune!
