BAOKU
& THE IMAGE AFRO-BEAT BAND |
||
|
Afro beat, a musical combination of western jazz with African instruments and languages is a musical expression of peace, love, unity, truth and justice. Baoku Moses, a Yoruba native from Nigeria, West Africa is based in Cincinnati. A professional, cultural performer of African arts, 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. What distinguishes his style of Afro beat from other musicians is his integration of African drums such as the Nigerian bata and talking drums, djembe, Senegalese bottom drums and much more into his music. |
