THE PHENOMENON

Over a decade after his death, vindication has come to Fela Kuti, Africa’s musical genius. AfroBeat, his gift to the world, is now an international staple on his own uncompromising terms, social content intact.

Throughout his life, Fela contended that AfroBeat was a modern form of danceable, African classical music with an urgent message for the planet’s denizens. Created out of a… Read more in Amazon's Fela Kuti Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Jason's Review Suggests, July 1, 2000
By 
Willee O Jones (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yellow Fever / Na Poi (Audio CD)
This CD has all the rythmic subtlety of Fela's best recordings. Anything with Tony Allen's drumming deserves four stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice contrast, September 10, 2002
This review is from: Yellow Fever / Na Poi (Audio CD)
"Yellow Fever" is definitely a more accessible album, more directly linked to the mellow, hypnotic Nigerian highlife/juju pop style, while "Na Poi" is more of an experimental, difficult-listening album. It's interesting to hear the two different versions of the song "Na Poi," both extended Fela-style jams, but with radically different approaches... give you a pretty good sense of the kind of stylistic range these guys had. I agree that "Yellow Fever" is more fun, but hey... as long as they're gonna throw an extra album's worth of material on the same CD, I ain;t gonna complain. #8-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Get The 'Fever'... You No Go Die...Unless..., July 7, 2010
This review is from: Yellow Fever & Na Poi (Audio CD)
Mid-70's Afrobeat gem by the legendary master and tortured politico who was (rightly) elevated to status of sainthood upon his passing in 1997. The two LP's one this cd are not among his best, but fans and lovers of funk, global beat and world music are encouraged to explore all of his work, as no one had more of an impact than he. 'Yellow Fever' is comprised of laid-back, simple yet sublime grooves peppered with punctuating horns, sparse and hypnotic percussion, the meter-defying drumwork of Tony Allen and, of course, the manditory horn solos and organ noodling of leader Fela Kuti. 'Na Poi' is comprised of two 13 minute tracks, and features the up-tempo James Brown-like funk of 'You No Go Die... Unless You Want Go Die' that smokes throughout. While not as killer as 'Inside Out', 'Afrodisiac/Open and Close' or 'London Scene/Shakara', IMHO, it's essential nonetheless. So get the fever and worry about a remedy later...
