Afro-soul is a music genre that is a fusion between soul music and African sound. Its distinctive feature from any other African Music genre is the emotional vocals, especially of the lead singer.
There is a very strong link between Afro-soul and other genres like Afro-Jazz, Afropean and Afrobeats.
