Mellow U Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Only one of my top 3 favorite artists of all time, right up there with Jandek and The B-52's. Essentials: [youtubehd]7PXcbjNkTSk[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]YdV1V4vPPLI[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]iy8VPWZfbCs[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]yMgA22Biwfg[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]-ykpwr8K3M4[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]r_ODwq7jm3E[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]AsI8F70fy2M[/youtubehd] And a bit of a lesser-known but still fantastic track, from Ginger Baker's Stratavarious LP, which Fela and his wives played and sang on: [youtubehd]UAZA4iw7KrA[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Fela is probably the most criminally underrated musical mastermind of this century, and I don't say that lightly. It's a shame that only now is there a Broadway musical/mainstream appeal to his music. I remember Theo of all people introduced me to Fela Kuti..respect for that. I want to get my hands on a decent biography, but all of the ones at amazon are insanely expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
