About Me |
|
| Afro beat, a musical combination of western music with African instruments and languages is a musical expression of peace, love, unity, truth and justice. Afro-beat is known to a lot of people as Afro-pop, but this great style of music can also be an Afro-jazz, Afro-blues, Afro-reggae, Afro-rock and Afro-everykind of music simply called Afro-beat.Baoku Moses, a Yoruba native from Nigeria, West Africa, living in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S., is a professional cultural performer of African arts, Afro-beat musician and the founder of (The Image Afro-beat Band) . Baoku started his Afro beat career in 1997, shortly after the passing of Afro beat legend Fela Kuti, the father of Afro beat. Baoku uses Afro beat to preach, teach, entertain and educate about the issues facing all of humanity. Baoku, a professional African drummer, integrates African drums such as the Nigerian bata and talking drums, djembe and Senegalese bottom drums and much more into his music, which distinguishes his style of Afro beat from others.One of Baoku's goals is to create a great Afro beat band, that will take Afro beat music to a greater height in the music industry. With "The Image Afrobeat Band" and their powerful music , Baoku hope to bridge the gap between cultures, the gap between "the haves and have-nots", create appreciation for cultural diversity, appreciation for life and nature and to contribute to building a peaceful world. | |
