Afro beats were invented by Tekno, a singer who goes by the stage name Augustine Miles Kelechi Okechukwu, according to Nigerian comedian Koffi Idowu Nuel, popularly known as Koffi.
In a recent media interview with Galaxy TV, Koffi said that Tekno’s introduction of “samples and bounces” was necessary for Afro beats to become popular in the West.
He said that Tekno introduced Afrobeat to Nigeria and gave it to artists like Davido after releasing his song “Pana.”
But he said that Tekno didn’t receive the credit he deserved since he became unwell and stopped using social media.
