THE AFROBEATS BLASPHEMY: Tekno Stuns Fans By Rejecting Fela Anikulapo-Kuti As The Genre’s Originator!.

Nigerian singer Augustine Miles Kelechi, widely known as Tekno, has sparked debate during a New York interview with Hot 97 FM by contesting the long-standing belief that Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is the sole creator of Afrobeats.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

While acknowledging Fela as a legend who successfully took the genre international and inspired his own track “Rara,” Tekno argued that many pioneering musicians from eastern Nigeria—such as the late highlife icon Oliver De Coque—deserve equal credit for shaping the sound. He noted that because Fela extensively toured the world with his band, he received the lion’s share of historical recognition, whereas eastern legends who created timeless music remain largely unacknowledged today.

Expressing that highlife is part of the Afrobeats lineage, Tekno emphasized:

“Fela is not the originator of Afrobeats. Lagos people and the Yorubas might say he is the one, but I am from the East, and we had legends like Oliver De Coque. Oliver De Coque made pure highlife music. Highlife is also Afrobeats.”

Ultimately, the singer maintains that musical history should not overlook the diverse group of unsung legends across different regions who laid the foundation for the genre.
