Bio
Our influences are old skool hip hop ,b-boy culture and the music that went into creating it such as 70's funk, jazz,and soul. We also incorporate modern electronica and world music like afrobeat, reggae and even latin.What sets us apart is that our live instrumentation is as intrinsic to our sound as MC raps and turntable scratching.We also employ freestyle improvisation in our live sets.Afrofreque has been performing actively
for over five years.
