Tape Review : Kalakuti Vol. 1 By Illgod
Fela is the epitome of a Black Sheep who goes so far left and pans from the norm so hard that he ends up on the right side of history. Although the rendition of an Egypt 80' performance draws upon elements of jazz and African folk to create a new form of music called Afro beats. The overall theme of his music : societal struggles, political struggles, acceptance of self, hedonism, allegories, personal beliefs and even the poetics in his use of language identified with us.
