The African Afrobeat Festival / AB FEST is an annual music festival held during the penultimate weekend in August.
The event usually takes place at Barking Park in East London and the said arena is also known to be the central hub of African culture, and most importantly the increasing growth of the sound of afrobeats music in a European country.
The Afrobeats Legend Fela Kuti has been a huge inspiration to my music and Africa at large.
Do you know that Afrobeat is now the new sound of West Africa as described by CNN. However as the rave of modern Afrobeats increases there is a need for quality and creativity which I “Sonar” a professional Music Producer and Sound Engineer.. offers you, and that purely streams from my passion for good music. Look, I’m from Nigeria so definitely my sounds are bound to make you “shake body”. Hehehe.
Just thought I’d help y’all with some afrobeat history.
Afrobeat is a music style which developed in the 1970s out of a combination of traditional Nigerian and Ghanaian music, highlife, and American funk and jazz, with a focus on chanted vocals and percussion. It was during the days of the 1970s, a decade or so after Nigeria’s Independence did the term or music genre called afrobeats evolve and become more popular. This wonderful afrobeats music genre was created and made more popular by non other than the legendary crooner himself, Fela Anikulapo Kuti – The baba himself.
