- Afro rock is (an offshoot of Afrobeat) is a popular dance music pioneered in the late 1960s and early 1970s by such groups as Monomono, Osibisa and Alhaji K. Frimpong. It is a style of which relies heavily on the use of Western string instruments and guitar effects. The genre is deeply based in Western chordal structure and progression (mostly minor), emphasized on instruments like synthesizer and organ. Although the rhythmic engine of the music is (some configuration of) a western trap set, other characteristically African and Afro-Cuban elements pervade the remainder of the rhythm section (including congas, claves, shekeres, bells, and whistles). The vocal style can be seen as an amalgamation of African language and inflection into an American rock and funk context.
- L′afro-rock è un genere di musica dance di origini africane che ebbe una buona popolarità negli anni settanta con gruppi come i Monomono, gli Osibisa, Alhaji K. Frimpong e gli Assagai. Si basa soprattutto su strumenti elettrici a corda occidentali (chitarra e basso elettrico) e sugli effetti della chitarra, ma fa largo uso anche di tastiere elettriche e sintetizzatori. La struttura del sound è prevalentemente occidentale e si amalgama ad elementi tipici della musica africana ed afro-cubana, in particolar modo alla sezione ritmica, che spesso comprende congas, claves, shekere, campane e fischietti, ed alla parte vocale, che viene di solito rappresentata in lingua africana con inflessioni tipiche della musica rock e funky. L′afro-rock ha diverse analogie con l′afrobeat.
