Fela Kuti Documentary (1982)

Fela Kuti - Music Is The Weapon from Green Grin on Vimeo.


An excellent 53 minute documentary about the force of nature that was Fela Kuti.

I think I might post some of his music too as I'm getting Fela on the brain over here, the idea of making a tribute compilation is pretty daunting though, with 30 years of music to chose from and so many amazing yet really long tracks. Anyone have a favourite Fela album?

Be warned by the way, there are some pretty graphic and disturbing images of the violent and turbulent times Fela lived in, folk getting shot etc.

Fela Kuti Vs Michael Jackson

An album of Fela Kuti mashed up with Michael Jackson anyone? It's available here in exchange for an email address, but selfless martyr that I am, I've taken the hit for us all and you can get it here.
