Fela: Waka Waka

A very good friend sent me a link to this Fela track. I have never heard it before and the 'sound' is very different to what is now known as the Fela sound, the sounds of Afrobeat. Nevertheless, I really love this track. Thanks Kemdi!

Lemi Ghariokwu- Fela album covers

This is the work of the artist behind the iconic Fela Kuti album artwork- Lemi Ghariokwu. The album covers where and still are as distinct and recognisable as the phenomenal Afrobeat music they 'clothed'.

So colourful, vibrant, unapologetic. Masters at work indeed! If you can, go and see the Fela! broadway show, showing in London at the National Theatre from next month.
