I cant say enough about Fela especially since I grew up listening to my
dads Fela rtecords and being from Nigeria. He died about 2 years ago.
his records which date back to the 60s ( i think) are absolutly
beautiful. If you happen to see his records anywhere take a listen. I
describe his style as afro funk/jazz with a rough/raw edge. Especially the
horns he uses on a lot of his songs.
