[Otis Driftwood]

I found a tape of his in my car (y) , actually I kind of borrowed it from a guy who lived in my flat before I moved in. Fela Kuti is (was?) a cool guy with about 30 wives. Femi Kuti is nice, too.

[DrunkenMantis]

I wonder if this is what the beasties are gonna try next

[Otis Driftwood]

what do you think of the music??
Nothing I'd pop in my mp3-player but damn good background / easy listening stuff.

[Brother McDuff]

fela was something else. he was the founder of "highlife jazz". the african government killed his mother. his life story is incredible, and tragic, and his music reflects this.(y)

[Sir SkratchaLot]

Yep, I've got some of his LPs. Dope dope stuff. Maybe not easily digestable to people who think a 7 minutes song is long but if you're into jazz and funk he's untouchable.
