Editorial Reviews

Triple disc (two CDs + DVD) set. It's almost impossible to overstate the impact and importance of Fela Kuti : producer, arranger, musician, political radical, outlaw. He was all that, as well as showman par excellence and inventor of Afro-beat. Fela's death with complications from AIDS deeply affected musicians and fans internationally , as a musical and sociopolitical voice on a par with Bob Marley was silenced, with one million people attending his funeral. To commemorate the 10th Anniversary of his death, this box set release includes his double 'Best Of' and the definitive iconic DVD 'Music Is The Weapon'. Shot in Lagos in 1982, this documentary carries us from the 'Kalkuta Republic' to the mythical 'Shrine' nightclub. The film includes previously unpublished versions of ITT, Army Arrangement, Power Show and Authority Stealing ('live' at the Shrine). Wrasse.
