Music Sound

Afro Rock is a style of music which relies heavily on the use of Western string instruments (electric guitars and bass) and guitar effects played with a rock feel, but played in an african plucked style. The additional use of percussion helps refine and identify the music as African, while the vocal style is rock. Afro Rock is a form of highly rhythmic and danceable Rock music because, as one artist said, "the black man always wants to shake his waist."
