Afro-jazz refers to jazz music which has been heavily influenced by African music.

The music took elements of marabi, swing and American jazz and synthesized this into a unique fusion.

The first band to really achieve this synthesis was the South African band Jazz Maniacs [1] founded by Solomon Cele in 1935. [2]
