Afro House AI Music Generator

Afro house is built from the percussion up: layered polyrhythmic African rhythms — congas, djembe, bongos, shakers — sit over a 4x4 kick, joined by warm sub bass and spiritual vocal textures. Energy grows through gradual percussion layering rather than a conventional drop.

How Afro House is built

Groove & kick
4x4 groove at 118-124 BPM with the kick sharing space with dense polyrhythmic percussion.
Percussion
Layered congas, djembe, bongos and shakers form the genre's core rhythmic identity, often including kalimba textures.
Bassline
Warm sub bass (Moog Sub 37-style) grounds the low end beneath the percussion.
Chords & pads
Juno-106 chords and Korg Minilogue-style pads add harmonic warmth without overpowering the rhythm.
Arrangement
Gradual energy build through progressive percussion layering — there is no conventional drop.
