• Its hard to go wrong with Fela Kutis work from the 1970s, and LIVE!, which features the Afrobeat innovator backed by his powerhouse band Africa 70 and ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker, is no exception. Like all of Felas recordings from the era, LIVE! consists of just a few tracks, each of which approximates or exceeds the ten minute mark.
• Yet the arrangements are so dynamic on these tracks, the criss-crossing polyrhythms so absorbing, and Felas incantatory vocals so entrancing that the long running times never seem a factor. Every cut crackles from beginning to end with its mixture of funk, jazz, and traditional Nigerian music, underscoring once again Felas revolutionary, indelible contribution to world music. Fans of Ginger Baker will want to take note that the drummer is not showcased except on a bonus track, which pairs the drummer with Fela percussionist Tony Allen for a smokin sixteen-plus minute drum solo.
