    The African continent has warmly welcomed the music in its heart. The people of Africa are very cultural and enthusiastic about music. The western part of Africa is the most famous part of music since the West is known for its culture, tradition, and exciting proverbs. Here you can find all kinds of African music at an affordable price.

    What Is African Music?

    Some may assume that African music is one genre, but the truth is that African music offers several iterations. The following is an overview of the different African music types and the instruments used to create the many unique styles of African music.

    What is Traditional African Music?

    Traditional African music varies among regions and nations, but one of the most popular is Gnawa music and is referred to by several names, including Gnawi Blues and Ethno-Pop.

    The music can sometimes be considered ritual, attributed to its religious roots. The creation of Gnawa music dates back to the 11th century and is a mixture of traditional poetry and music.

    African music styles

    African Dance

    African dance music consists of several genres but is designed to get people smiling and moving to the rhythm. Although mainly instrumental music, there will be times when African dance music contains vocals.

    Afro Dance is a mixture of upbeat music and an innovative dance style derived from Kuduro, an Angolan dance style. More modern iterations of African dance music include cheer dance, encompassing Western influence with African tradition.

    African House

    African house music is often cited as a sub-genre of dance music initially developed in South Africa and blends soulful and deep house sounds to create a unique style of music. South African dance music is also known as Kwaito.

    African Gospel

    There are several iterations of African gospel music. Still, one of the most recognized is the Christian church singing associated with the African-American community, which combines African influence with Western rhythm and blues.

    African Jazz

    Although African jazz music is still popular today, between the 1950s and 1960s, Le Grand Kallé et l'African Jazz was a force to be reckoned with. Often referred to as 'African Jazz' the music was produced by a Congolese band of the same name.

    African Jazz also has connections to Ethiopia, thanks to Mulatu Astatke, an African musician who was musically trained in New York and London.

    African Tribal

    Like many other genres of African music, African tribal music has several iterations, but two of the most common were found in the Maghrib and Southern sub-Saharan area.

    The two tribes would often take influence from each other, which is one of the reasons why African music is always able to create something unique when blending different styles.

    African tribal music consists of contrasting drum beats that create a polyrhythm. Modern African musicians will also blend other styles into a polyrhythm.

    Instruments and Sounds of African Music

    If you've ever wondered what instruments and sounds are used to create the appealing and upbeat sound of African music, then read on to learn more.

    African Drums

    Drums are a standard part of many musical genres, but one of the most iconic drums used to create African music is the djembe, a goblet-shaped drum carved from hardwood and was first created during the Malian empire.

    African Sounds

    Given African music's diversity, giving an overall synopsis of the sound can take time and effort. For the most part, the sounds of African music are happy, energetic, and upbeat. However, as more modern African artists experiment with style, some unique sounds cannot be heard in other genres of music.

    African Voice

    As there are several genres of African music, the vocals can vary a lot. However, there is a subgenre of African music dedicated to vocals, where there is a lot of choral singing and call-and-response.

    Is African Music the Same as Safari Music?

    music, this isn't a genre. However, those who have traveled to Africa may have noticed that instrumental music is played to enhance the experience, which is why it is often called safari music.

    What Is The Influence of African Music?

    African music was inspired by a series of instruments and the migration of people between tribes. The single and double iron bells originated in Kwa-speaking West Africa and can be considered the first iteration of African music, dating to the 15th century.

    The diversity of African music means it also influenced many other styles globally and has seen a lot of popularity, especially with Western artists.
