“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

What we popularly call Afrobeats today didn't start as Afrobeat. In fact, it has little element of Afro identity. They were all musical piece inspired by the ambition to identify with global music culture. Before their emergence, African musicians showcases various brand that is rooted in indigenous culture and tradition. There was Juju, Apala and many more in Yoruba land. A more nationwide song was highlife but that cut across west Africa.

Afrobeats as it's now called was inspired by modern singers who aspire for global appeal by imitating hip hop and other western style singers. American music was the biggest drive and several foreign song were adapt by local musican like Olu Maintain ( e g I catch cold). The Eddy Remedies comprising of Idris Abdulkareem, Toni Tetuila and Eddy incorporated raps with indigenous language modelled in foreign style. There were also the plantation boys of Tu face, face and black face.

The advent of social media popularize the music among global audience who struggled to find specific identity for it. Then came the coinage Afrobeats.

Before then, only Fela Kuti could be credited with anything called Afrobeat when he transformed his highlights by infusing it with Jazz. What we currently called Afrobeat is cheer opportunism. Nothing more.
Afrobeats (with s) seem appropriate for all types of songs that are yet identified from the African continent especially those that embraces western cultures and styles.

It may be right to give Afrobeat to Fela and Afro Juju to Sir Shina Peters whilst Lagbaja may wants to claim "Afro Calypso" but in reality, all they do is to fuss existing genre of musics together.

Anybody that hears a rap song, will undoubtedly know it's a rap song. And same goes for Blues, Jazz, Reggae, Funk, country music, opera etc.

In more recent times, the likes of Tuface, Olu maintain, Eedris, Davido, Wizkid, Burnaboy, Tems, Tiwa Salvage, Ayra Strr etc have also fused African style musics with western musics and culture. It is therefore safe to call these class of musics Afrobeats because there is no limit to the extent to wish they fuse.

That said, there is almost no difference in the two names. Just an "s" is not sufficient enough to distinguish between the two. Since there was already "Afrobeat", the modern fussed African genre should have adopted a different and uniquely identifying name. This is where the confusion lies.

Seun Kuti would probably keep going about to maintain his stand, but for now, there's "Afrobeat" and there's "Afrobeats".
