As an afrobeat producer, I am excited to see you try your hands on a genre I love to make so much. 🔥❤

[@jaysmt]

Any tips on how to make afro beats.. I really love the sound it's just got me confused

[@johnswagaproducer1022]

@@jaysmt you need to have a good 👍 chord progression first

[@jaysmt]

@@johnswagaproducer1022 I'm working on.. appreciate the advice

[@mrlaurobeatz]

That’s not afrobeat
That’s dance hall
But it sounding good 🔥🔥🔥

[@mistygeezofficial]

How he arranged the kicks first made it an afrobeat..buh he changed it .. it lacks a whole of African sounds .

[@professahbruno1578]

@@mistygeezofficial your comment makes the most sense, thought the same, also that traditional drum pattern initially is inspired by another genre from Angola called “Kizomba” where style like zouk stems from as such, the initial drum pattern still lacked a little to fully have that african afrobeat sounnd to it and usually afrobeat instrumentals the drum pattern are simple more focus is added on the melody and counter-melody plus accompaniments

[@georgeattiogbe5888]

Is a afrobeat from the first snare pattern

[@georgeattiogbe5888]

Afro-Danechall💥

[@frogwood1713]

Afrobeat usually has polyrhythm , it'd be good to try and include that.

[@astrodaproducer]
