pt.1

Pt.2

this track is about fela kuti's mother who, if i remember
properly, was thrown out of a window by the police and died.
Fela and his crew took her coffin and delivered it to some
military barracks in lagos.

and the good leaf, for the machine gun-like use of the voice
he performs

Just put a drum machine in an afro, and cool music will come
out.

One time on the subway, some sleeping dyude has a massive
afro, so I put a portable drum machine on his head and put
random beat making on. I took it home to find it full of
super afro hits! It was so afro, so puffy, and so beaty.

Changed my afro life.

What is afro-beat, how to distinguish it from other similar
music genres?

i'm not goof at wikipedia kind of descriptions, if you want
the full story have a quick look and see

otherwise just listen, i do this way. so for me afro beat is
when there's an obsessive rhythm that starts, when there's
progression that change in obsession, then the other
instruments come and go, on a more instinctive fashion

basically, the concert was about him acting like a drunk 75
yo man, and the band (the 'afro beat academy') pwning him
everytime he showed tired and willing to cut the shit off

at the end they played 2 hours

ultra fun

minuts and you can go pee. and have a beer.

i've been to see Orlando Julius and the Heliocentrics live,
i expected a faster beat like the videos i've seen on
youtube prior to go, but the show was unexpectedly mellow

and with that it's two artists from strut records i see
perform 8)
