Afro Pop with The Bukaman

African popular music (also styled Afropop,  Afro-pop or Afro pop), like African traditional music,  is vast and varied. Most contemporary genres of African popular music  build on cross-pollination with western popular music. Many genres of popular music like blues, jazz, afrobeats, salsa, zouk, and rumba derive to varying degrees on musical traditions from Africa, taken to  the Americas by enslaved Africans. These rhythms and sounds have  subsequently been adapted by newer genres like rock, and rhythm and blues. Likewise, African popular music has adopted elements, particularly the musical instruments and recording studio techniques of western music. The term does not refer to a specific  style or sound but is used as a general term for African popular music.
