Product Description

From Amazon.com

It's been three decades since the iconoclastic Nigerian sax man Fela Ransome (a.k.a. Fela Anikulapo) Kuti and his drummer Tony Allen fused juju and highlife with American funk to create Afrobeat. Unfortunately, Fela's confrontational lyrics were as potent as the music and his fame was no protection against government retribution. He spent a lot of time in prison before dying of AIDS in 1997. Meanwhile, his son Femi Anikulapo Kuti and several other players have kept the coolly polyrhythmic and compulsively danceable groove going strong, as demonstrated by the the rough-and-ready tracks on this sampler. Highlights include Femi Kuti's exuberantly sexual "Beng Beng Beng," Kiala's lengthy praise-singing on "Batumwindu," Fela's own Egypt 80 led by Baba Ani on "Se Re Re," and Lagbaja's juicy, Yoruba-flavored "Side by Side." However, the pick hit is "Dirt And Blood," a tight, blistering social rant from Antibalas, a U.S.-based outfit. --Christina Roden
