Afrobeat has jazz roots. Afrobeats has a lot of hiphop & RnB influences. No one is saying they’re not original genres, but denying the black American influences in our music is incredibly dishonest.
@Boriginal____ post said, anything else before afrobeats. The thought process is what I’m arguing against. it’s tribalistic to think that.
Independence Day here we play some hiphop and RnB too, noone thinks “it’s black American music so let’s not play it”
it’s all black music end of the day
@Boriginal____ I understand not wanting that to be all that’s played, but not at all is tribalistic.
Anyway this doesn’t help anyone. Play it or not, world keeps spinning
