Just a thought about Fela.
In a strange way his work is exceedingly modernist, and almost cybernetic.
He employs relatively simple sonic potentials and sets them in repetitive
motion
through complex systems. From this stirring of purity in form and function,
patterns and connections arise which give birth to emergent properties. I've
often noticed a commonality between his work and some of the more intelligent
drum and bass compositions.
Apart from all of this, his music sets an ass to moving.
Peace
Ecco
