[edit] Infobox, Authorship, and Other Artists
The style is called American in the infobox, and indeed, is influenced by American music, but is generally seen as an African musical form. Another artist claiming to have originated the style of Afrobeat is O.J. Ekemode, another Nigerian and contemporary of Fela. It seems to me also that some mention might be made of the Brazilian diva Margareth Menezes, whose music falls in the Afrobeat vein.--Rockero
- The infobox is for funk, not Afrobeat, so I've removed it. I don't think there's any need for an infobox here. Tuf-Kat 05:22, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
If anyone gets a chance, another afrobeat artist is Lagbaja. Dreamer.redeemer 21:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
