'Funsho Ogundipe' is a Nigerian pianist and composer.
According to writer Chris May writing for all about jazz, Ogundipe's Afrobeat has been cooked in a slow burning oven and has a wide and enchanting range of tonal colours.( [1])

Ogundipe cites Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and Fela Kuti as his major influences as a composer.
Robert Fox of the afrofunk forum and also bass player for the American Afrobeat inspired band Chopteeth rates Ogundipe's composition Revenge of the Flying Monkeys as one of the most important post Fela Kuti compositions.
