AFRI-TUNES WEEK #8 || AFROBEAT FREESTYLE AND IMPROVISATION (In the Style of Felá and Burna Boy) | By

---

I enjoy coming up with new stuff from various ideas I find. And top on that list is enjoying the grooviness of music that has groove. Afrobeat always has heavy groove - music that makes you bob your head or shake your body!

Felá Kútì is widely known as the father of Afrobeat basically because he popularized the style of music.
In today's music world, Burna boy remains one of the most representative African musicians that beautifully combines Afrobeat groove with hip hop.
It's probably why he's widely recognized all over the world. Anytime he's opprtuned to talk about his music, he always refers to Afrobeat being the base of his composition. He knows his stuff.

This piece here explores the Afrobeat style, bringing in some influences from Felá and Burna Boy.

Enjoy my sax splash.
