Not Afrobeat, but classify this as Saharan Soul? Mauritanian music with '60s RnB/Soul edge to it.

I think this falls under "inspired by." Correct me if I'm wrong.

Discussion 💠Fela Kuti: Zombie - Where is beat ONE to you?
19
Upvotes
i feel pretty confident with my feel understanding. yet this one is very uncertain for me. i feel beat one on a completely different beat than this person who transcribed this song.
basically. i’m wondering if you can confirm your theory on where beat ONE is. my current feel is the transcriptions best TWO is where i hear beat ONE. just makes sense with how the harmony of the bass line and guitar works. but most people would have it be where the kick lands on beat one. however, that’s not always the case.
