| Inhalt: |
This extraordinary program features the most famous Nigerian musician and composer, FeIa AnikuIapo Kuti. Fela was the most ceIebrated BIack African musician of his time and a revolutionary, a cuIturaI and political symbol oftentimes ambiguous to the Western mind.
The African rhythms of his music are profoundIy influenced by CharIie Parker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis as well as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Burning Spear, forming a new musical styIe called "Afro-Pop," somewhat akin to "Jazz-Rock," but with deep African roots.
A charismatic performer, Fela projects the imperiaI trappings of power. His music is punctuated by exotic and highIy suggestive tribal dances and rituaIs performed on stage by 15 of his 27 wives.
Was he a musician? A poIitician? A religious chief? An agitator? Was he a Miles Davis-James Brown-Malcolm X who decided to marry his 27 dancers and singers, and his first wife, aIl the same day, in a great tropical ceremony? In any case, he was one of the best loved men in Africa. In Nigeria FeIa claimed that he was better known that the President. lt was probabIy true.
Fela, Black President
He Ied a poIiticaI party in Lagos, the "Movement of The PeopIe," and he was its candidate in the Nigerian PresidentiaI eIections of 1983. Panafricanist, Iibertarian, Fela represented the uprising of BIack Africa, politically and musicaIIy.
The historic show was recorded in Paris on June 30, 1981 during an excIusive "aIl night" live concert. This exceptional event was captured on tape by muItipIe cameras and recorded in 24-track stereo sound, newIy digitized and enhanced in this DVD presentation.
