Had the pleasure of seeing Sidi Touré perform live a few weeks ago. Sh!t was like God descended upon us and decided to play guitar and african banjo

Nigerian Afrobeats with a clear influence from Jamaican dancehall and jazz horns
This one too tho many africans argue that Chaka Demus was influenced by afrobeat on this rythm that Flavour is now using.

I hear ya.
There are some haitian tracks that I thought were samples of Angolan semba tracks until I looked up the songs release dates and realized it was the other way around
The one I could never tell who sampled who was this one which sounds exactly like Coupé Cloués hit track
Problème is there are so many different versions of this track all over the diaspora you don't know which is which anymore. In Haiti alone there are 3 Haitian versions of it

Here's one of Haitians version from late 70s or early 80s. There have since been a newer one but there may have been one before it alsoThis is niiiiiice. Give me a red stripe and a warm day and it's lit

Flavours production team apparently samples a lot of Caribbean joints. This is clearly a sample of a Haitian tune but can't remember the exact song.
Perhaps @Soundbwoy can help me pinpoint it cause I know this track but can't recall from where. I wanna say Harmonik but I could be wrong

One of you Haitian brehs tell me which haitian artist they sampled on this. I know that beat from years ago especially the first 10 seconds is an exactly the same

Honestly I think they (Africans) influence us more than we influence them. A lot of music professors and musicians will admit to this b a lot of things we claim to have invented came from or was heavily influenced by Africans. It's like if they influenced us and then we build upon it and influence them then who's influencing who?
It's at least both way
At the very least most of our drum patterns come from there though folk music wether we realize it or not. Many Haitian konpa tracks for example tend to have this subtle drum pattern underneath that you barely notice if you're not paying attention.
Like the song below ("Chalatan" by Zin) is one of a 3-way tie for my absolute favorite songs ever. If you pay close attention you can hear it in the background throughout the song
That same drum pattern came from and is heard in many haitian rasine-vodou music which is clearly african. Now ive heard many newer african tracks with that same pattern but it's more pronounced. So who influenced who, here?
Edit: That same drum pattern is even more pronounced on this track if you have trouble cedyphering it from the above one. There is a Angolan-Kizomba track ive heard that is pretty much a sample of the below track from Zin but they just sped-up the tempo

Does anyone have any information on this style of music below?
I'd like to hear some of the more modern african versions of what influenced Haitian rasine-vodou music like the one below. This one is from the Haitian-Rasine-vosou GAWD Azor
THis man was a GAWD on them drums
R.I.P. to the Gawd. Died way too soon
