[edit]AfroBeat
[edit]Afrobeat is a West African genre of music created by Nigerian artist Fela Kuti. Kuti created Afrobeat fusing traditional West African music with African-American music of Jazz, R&B, and other genres of West African and African-American music. West African musicians fused African-American music with their traditional West African music creating new genres of music. In addition, funk music also influenced Afrobeat. James Brown's Funk music, Brown's dance style and African-American drumming influenced Afrobeat. In London, Kuti joined jazz and rock bands, and when he returned to Nigeria the creation of Afrobeat began in the country by fusing African-American and traditional Yoruba music. In 1969, Kuti toured the United States. Through his travels, Kuti became inspired by the political activism of African Americans. Kuti studied the life of Malcolm X and was inspired by his pro-black speeches. This resulted in a change in Kuti's message in Afrobeat as it became more political discussing the political issues in Africa and Nigeria.
K-Pop
[edit]Hip-hop came to Korea in the 1990s. It later developed into a genre of hip-hop in Korea called Korean Hip-Hop and Korean K-pop music. Although African-American music influenced genres of Korean pop music and culture, some Korean artists are known to appropriate African-American vernacular and other aspects of Black culture.
