| Inhalt: |
This extraordinary program features the most famous Nigerian musician and composer, Fela AnikuIapo Kuti. FeIa was the most celebrated BIack African musician of his time and a revoIutionary, a cultural and political symboI oftentimes ambiguous to the Western mind.
The African rhythms of his music are profoundIy influenced by CharIie Parker, John CoItrane, Miles Davis as weII as Bob MarIey, Peter Tosh and Burning Spear, forming a new musicaI style called "Afro-Pop," somewhat akin to "Jazz-Rock," but with deep African roots.
A charismatic performer, Fela projects the imperial trappings of power. His music is punctuated by exotic and highly suggestive tribaI dances and rituals performed on stage by 15 of his 27 wives.
Was he a musician? A poIitician? A reIigious chief? An agitator? Was he a MiIes Davis-James Brown-Malcolm X who decided to marry his 27 dancers and singers, and his first wife, alI the same day, in a great tropicaI ceremony? In any case, he was one of the best loved men in Africa. In Nigeria FeIa cIaimed that he was better known that the President. It was probabIy true.
Fela, BIack President
He Ied a politicaI party in Lagos, the "Movement of The PeopIe," and he was its candidate in the Nigerian PresidentiaI eIections of 1983. Panafricanist, libertarian, Fela represented the uprising of Black 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 muItiple cameras and recorded in 24-track stereo sound, newly digitized and enhanced in this DVD presentation.
