Killer tracks to be discovered, rediscovered, and discovered again … essential
Stunning release showcasing Fela’s music. Roforofo Fight is pure quality, a massive musical opus that has to bee played in its entirety. Would love wav files on this. Thank you so much! Dr Bob Jones
The man’s music is as fresh and vibrant as ever. Three of his more well known tunes and for good reason. Could the time be right for more widespread respect from US fans? Really hoping these new re-issues and the Broadway love do the trick.
simply awsome
