What Is the Difference Between Afrobeat And Afrobeats? Afrobeat (without s) and Afrobeats (with s) are musical genres with roots in West Africa. They share other similarities but should not be confused. Here’s how you can tell the difference between Afrobeat and Afrobeats. What is Afrobeat? Afrobeat is a musical genre that was created by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. While he was studying music in England, Fela Kuti started a band called Koola Lobitos. The band played a blend of Ghanaian highlife and jazz. In the early 1960s, Fela Kuti returned to Nigeria and reformed the Koola Lobitos. What does Afrobeat sound like? Afrobeat brings together funk, jazz,high life, and traditional African music. The songs are long and can be recognized by their complex instrumentation. Afrobeat bands are often composed of several musicians playing several instruments. Electric piano, guitars, horns, percussions, and vocals all contribute to the rhythm of the songs. Afrobeat is a socially conscious music. In their lyrics, the artists address the political, social, and economic issues of their time. What is Afrobeats? Afrobeats is a term that groups several African pop music genres. These music styles initially developed in Nigeria and Ghana in the late 90s to mid-2000s. What do Afrobeats sound like? Afrobeats is a mix of West African pop music with hip hop, dancehall, R&B, and EDM. The rhythm of the songs is catchy and upbeat. Most Afrobeats songs are not politically engaged. The lyrics are often about love, relationships, personal success, partying, and other light topics. Take note and kindly share; Afrobeat is similar to conscious reggae vibes. Likewise, Afrobeats is similar to a party like dancehall music. In most cases, you can still come across conscious Afrobeats and dancehall songs. Vice-versa.

I find Burna Boy's Music to be very good, especially songs like 'The Monsters They made'. I personally feel like every genre doesn't have to be about struggle and hardship. I feel like we as black people have enough reminders of 'reality' and that other genres like Reggae already have that job. I feel one of the biggest tricks played on us as blacks is thinking that our message must always reflect our struggles. This keeps us in low vibration, in our trauma and quite frankly hopeless and depressed. Our major issue as a race is that of wealth building but no one wants to talk about that part. We usually show up to the table with the least amount of money and have the least amount of financial knowledge and thus the least amount of power. This idea that somehow talking about our issues without actually acting to fix them, will somehow help us does little to change our position. I am aware of all the inequalities and all the history, I know this stuff and i feel this stuff but I am also beginning to see how it can become a weapon we use against ourselves. Everyone has their role, some people sing about the inequalities and some people will make mad money and so they can afford to help remove the financial barriers that fuel these inequalities.

I think you’re missing the point. His point is Afro beat has such HUGE platform globally but NO ONE is using it to stand up for Africa and say what’s really going on. Most Afro beat and ama piano music is just a wave, a good hype that dies off quick and has no substance.

The criticism should be leveled at all Black music, not just singling out Afrobeats. The rise of Afrobeats gives Black people from the diaspora the chance to learn more about continental African language, culture, and how they vibe. Why not criticize but still acknowledge that Afrobeats has a lot of potential as a new genre in the global stage? Plus there are conscious Afrobeats bangers What Buju said is divisive…

Seun Kuti (Fela's son) writes and records political music but for some reason he is not as popular as the likes of Burna Boy, Whizkidd etc I can only think that its because the western record companies do not want politicised music making it through to the mainstream, I mean Bob Marley ended up getting assassinated by the powers that be because his music conveyed very powerful political messages.

What's the substance to Hip Hop? I listen to a lot of rap and hip hop, and only very few rap and hip hop artistes talk about important issues. It's mostly vibes and drugs, guns and flashy stuff. Why is it that the only thing the West wants to hear about Africa is poverty, war and political incompetence? Why can't African artistes sing about having a good time?

I use Bandcamp. Once I purchase the music on their site. I can download it and play it on any device I choose. I can also stream all the content I purchase on their app as well as other artists music. I use to subscribe to Zune aka Xbox music. It predated iTunes subscription and all other streaming platforms. This is around 2008.i finally came to my senses and stop subscribing to it because I don't own anything at the end of the day. Until consumers come to their senses and stop subscribing nothing will change.

Buju, it's time to keep quiet; how many genres are necessary to convey the same message? Afrobeat has been embraced by nearly every African nation as a unifying step, allowing them to appreciate their own culture beyond colonial limits. The genre has played a role in curbing female abuse, which is prevalent in places like South Africa and Kenya. It enables men to subconsciously express romance in ways they never have before, due to its soothing and captivating lyrical appeal. In some African cultures, male affection has been stifled, but in areas where it is lacking, new emotions are being embraced, especially by the younger generation who reject old customs. This genre is favored over the degrading Dancehall songs associated with you Buju, which young Africans are rejecting. Some artists who have succeeded in a particular genre feel they must become the spokesperson for all genres. Buju, hush with your entitled rhetoric. Why haven't you shared similar thoughts on Jazz or Hip-hop? Do not police Afrobeat; it is a form of spiritual liberation for a people who have endured much, and it is welcomed.

You are not making any sense. He is saying all that Afrobeat is doing is good, but it also needs to spread good messages. What afrobeat is doing now is what Buju did in his early years. He was making crazy money from those early hits, but it didn't stop him from changing to positive, conscious, uplifting music. Rather than getting offended, try to understand what he is saying

All music can’t be and sound like Reagge. I know this Reagge song called ragga ragga and it was dissing ragga singers. Every generation has its own sound. South Africa has created amapiano…. From kwayito. Nigerians mixed RnB Congo sukus and fellas Afrobeat to create what we are listening to no now. Reagge it’s self took from African drumming and blues from the United States. The Afrobeats with massage is not marked that’s why. But it’s around lots of it.

@robmiller6389 You're talking about old school rappers, and he was talking about the current most popular music genre. Africans do music for Africans, and if you're not an African and want to vibe to it, good. Africans have always supported roots reggae and dancehall music even though most didn't understand a lot of the crap in their lyrics. Afrobeat is about 5% of African music. Africa has a lot of music genres that most non Africans don't even understand the lyrics. Afrobeat is not even the most popular music genre in about 99% of all African countries.

You need to be diverse and strike a balance when making an analysis. Samething goes to most dancehall vibes. Afrobeats and dancehall are much more similar. But I didn't hear Buju making emphasis on dancehall vibes. Which mostly promotes violence etc. Afrobeat and reggae are much more alike. Conscious vibes and elevation. There's a different between Afrobeats and Afrobeat.
