Download Album on iTunes - click here If you are a fan of great music then chance are you have heard of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. If not perhaps you have experienced the music of his two seeds in FEMI
and SEUN Kuti
. Fela is by far the most influential and celebrated artist produced by the African continent. This is no hyperbole - he is that good and deserves all the renewed interest in him and his tremendous body of simply amazing music. His music is powerful, the arrangement is the work of a genius, and the shear audacity of the man's lyrics - a challenge to the powerful and corrupt - demand respect. Fela was so unique that he created a new genre of music - Afrobeat - a fusion of funk, jazz, r&b, with JuJu style vibes - making for a powerful and infectious sound. The latest FELA project to drop is The Fela Originals from FELA! On Broadway. I have yest to see the play FELA on Broadway
- but I love the selections of FELA's finest works. Also Download "The Best of the Black President" - by Fela at Amazon.com: Best Of The Black President
