der nigerianische musiker fela kuti gilt als begründer des afrobeat. das label knitting factory legt nun verschiedene werke aus dem backcatalogue als vinyl-edition vor. *roforofo fight* ist 180g schwer

der nigerianische musiker fela kuti gilt als begründer des -afrobeat-. das label knitting factory legt nun verschiedene werke aus dem backcatalogue als vinyl-edition vor. -na poi- ist 180g schwer und mit einem download-code ausgestattet. 1971 aufgenommen, ist dieses album maßgeblich von einer reise fela kutis in die usa beeinflusst. dort traf er sich mit musikern wie the last poets, james brown und sly stone. die drei langen stücke sind von einem sich endlos wiederholenden percussion-getriebenen funk geprägt, wie man ihn in den usa von bands wie parliament und funkadelic kennt. das phantastische schlagzeug-spiel von tony allen ist dabei ebenso maßgeblich, wie die prägnanten bläser-sätze.
