Afrobeat is a very integral part of music, especially in West Africa. It has been in mainstream music since the 70s, made popular bybthe Giants like Fela and in today's world, artists like Burna Boy.
The greatest emphasis in Afrobeat is groove. You can't have Afrobeatvwothout groove. It is the soul of Afrobeat. Whether you put on local percussion instruments or modern groove tools to make your instrumentation, it must always have that feel that makes your head bob and your body feel the vibes.

Here I explore a sample track made in the Style of Burna boy's song "Gbóná".
It was one of the big hits back when Burna boy entered mainstream stardom.

Notice the emphasis on flow and groove. Nothing much, but yet rich!

Enjoy!
