Instruments
Afrobeat combines West African Yoruba musical traditions with jazz improvisation and funk grooves, resulting in extended compositions built on interlocking polyrhythmic patterns. The talking drum provides tonal percussion that mimics speech patterns, while shekere adds shaker texture. Horn sections deliver powerful unison riffs and solo passages, and electric guitar plays rhythmic ostinato patterns that anchor the harmonic structure alongside a driving bassline.
