00:00I kind of fell into the whole Afrobeat thing and you know I know how to make
00:05Afrobeat so it's just like why do this kind of music because I like it when I
00:12know this is my calling you know I'm talking about Afrobeat is my calling
00:16African music original music is my calling
00:21Afrobeat is Fela Kuti Afrobeat is like Afropop and Afro you know hip-hop and Afro whatever you know so for me my my one is a Afrofusion I call it because I just try to infuse Afrobeat into everything else into you know a lot of
00:49their cultural sounds you know yeah but the world and media have put this music
01:04or the genre that we kind of have to it's like that's how they marketing it yeah
01:07that's how they marketing it if you think of Afrobeat I'm talking about Fela like I probably have like four songs I would say it's real real real Afrobeat like Fela
01:19sounding type songs you know what I'm saying but we haven't put one of that
01:24umbrella so it's like yeah we ran from it like since once the UK said it Afrobeat
01:29anybody ran from it so to me any African musician that releases music you know is under Afrobeat
01:37the term Afrobeat is actually coined by Fela Kuti who is the godfather of Afrobeat and
01:44we're you know just it's kids you know from that but you have to realize that we're also influenced by hip-hop
01:50pop R&B soul you know music from the UK so outside it's more Afropop but you know everybody else around
02:01the world calls it Afrobeat yeah and you know if you're if you're talking about music that represents
02:06the whole of Africa you have to consider South African music you have to consider music from the east
02:11so it's really hard to put everything under that one umbrella because it's so diverse
