Create Modern African Music

Design brief

Music Library is an online store for exclusive music. All the tracks are produced by the talented worldwide Audiodraft sound designer community and handpicked by music professionals to ensure the great quality. The Music Library is offering only exclusive licenses so a single tune can be sold only once.

This challenge gives you a unique opportunity to get your music featured in the Audiodraft Music Library. By winning you will be able to get your tune to be listed and sold in the Audiodraft Music Library and you will gain reputation on Audiodraft by getting a winner badge on your profile page.

The best tunes competing in the challenge will be added to the Music Library. Maximum number of entries per designer is limited to 5 (including withdrawn ones as well).

The aim of this challenge is to create a modern, groovy afrobeat track. Try creating multiple individual rhythmical patterns which together create a solid beat while having a simple melodic theme on top. Pay attention to the elements that differ from Western dance music while finding the modern sounds that make 21st century afrobeat fresh and "pop-ish". Remember that also melodic instruments can have a strong, rhythmic focus to them. Please listen to the references below to get inspired!
