Osabuohien Osaretin, a renowned Nigerian record producer widely recognized as Sarz, recently shared insights into the impact of the legendary musician and Afrobeat trailblazer, Fela Kuti, on contemporary Afrobeats artists.
According to Sarz, the late music icon serves as a profound inspiration for current Afrobeats luminaries like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Rema, and is expected to influence upcoming generations of musicians. In a recent interview with ARZ, Sarz revealed that he draws inspiration and occasionally samples beats from Fela’s musical legacy.
He mentioned, “Lately, I’ve been immersing myself in Fela’s discography, uncovering elements ripe for sampling or reinterpretation. The impact of his work is unmistakable, resonating not only in contemporary Afrobeats but also in the music of artists like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Rema, as well as influencing the upcoming generation. I believe the legend’s inspiration will endure for years to come.”
