The U Street Corridor is known for the variety of bars and clubs lining this busy stretch of the city. And over the last decade, one of the most consistent forces behind the expansion of this neighborhood and some of its more interesting venues has been Eric Hilton. With restaraunts and bars like Marvin, Gibson, Blackbyrd, and American Ice Company under his belt, Hilton has shown no signs of slowing down his efforts at helping to reshape the neighborhood. One of the newest locations he's had a hand in, and probably the most understated, is Montserrat House . [...]
For all those in D.C. who have yet to see FELA! , what are you waiting for? Tomorrow night is a particularly good night to catch it as the FELA! band will be playing an afterparty with The Funk Ark at The Rock and Roll Hotel . An extremely talented group of musicians will be collaborating throughout the evening so if you're in or around the capital, def check it out.
Dall'incunabolo della provincia italica giunge uno dei più affascinanti progetti di questo 2011. Registrato lo scorso dicembre nel teatro comunale di Russi, "Shrine On You " è una vera scossa al cuore. L'idea è semplice, ma immensa: riprendere i successi del maestro nigeriano Fela Kuti e rielaborarli in chiave classica. Marco Zanotti , percussionista e batterista illuminato, dirige un'orchestra di 11 elementi ripescando con tecnica e grazia nel polmone vivido della musica afrobeat. L'ensemble, costituito da musicisti di estrazione prevalentemente classica e contemporanea, attacca alla radice il modello originario avviluppando strumentazioni [...]
What do you get when you put together afrobeat legend Fela Kuti and rap pioneers De La Soul? You get Fela Soul; a musical tapestry created by Gummy Soul artist Amerigo Gazaway. More than just a clever title, Fela Soul is an 8-track, 33 minute journey into the world of afrobeat rhythms, funky horn riffs, and classic hip-hop gems. Using dozens of hand-picked samples from the Nigerian instrumentalist and political figure Fela Kuti, and 8 carefully-chosen acapellas from the Native Tongue rap trio De La Soul, Amerigo seamlessly intertwines the two into something completely new and original.
Don't you love it when beatmakers mashup African instrumentals with hip-hop lyrics? I do, which is why I love Fela Soul, Amerigo Gazaway's remix creation combining De la Soul and Fela Anikulapo Kuti. If you love either band, you're going to especially love this. Dig it here . Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway

here's a tasty one from the folks at okayafrica : fela soul is a nine song album that draws on samples from de la soul and fela kuti by gummy soul's amerigo gazaway . you can download the album for free here (or below) and check out the video below.
Over the past few years, there's been a much revived interest in the music and work of Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti, due in large part to the success of FELA! (the broadway musical whom has garnered rave reviews and Tony nods). This Fela onslaught is much welcomed and needed, as his influence on Western pop, soul, and funk is often overlooked and under-appreciated by the many. The man, whom many described as Africa's own James Brown/Miles Davis hybrid, was a spirited band leader, political activist, national hero, and impassioned lover, as evident by the 27 women he married during his time. [...]
A Mash-Up/Re-Mix, all over the place in deep respect to the reach and influence of Fela Kuti, Africa's brightest musical sun who done shone so hard he has illuminated the globe, got people in Poland practicing afro-beat, jingoistic United States-ians brushing up on Yoruba—yes, you are hearing right, that is Michael Jackson singing on a few of these tracks. Really, Jacko remembering a time when he was who he was before... That's the power of this heart-throb music. We going to be hearing Fela beat innovations for decades to come, at least for the rest of our lifetimes [...]
Straight up beautiful track. Listen in on what they're sayin'. "Scholars and scientists now conceive that Africa is the birthplace of mankind. Africans were the first builders of civilization; they discovered mathematics, invented writing, developed sciences, engineering, medicine, religion, fine art and built the Great Pyramids, an architectural achievement which still baffles modern minds."

One thing is certain, Stuart Bogie is a busy dude. Just a quick look over his bio and you see an impressive list of bands he has recorded with and performed with including steady gigs in Antibalas , Iron & Wine , TV on the Radio , plus any number of acts related to those. It's pretty obvious that he is a very in-demand horn player in the indie music space. So, you might not think that he would have time to have his own project. But, he does. It's called [...]

breath of life
breath of lifeI came up with the concept for this project in fall of 2010. I wanted to follow through with it not only because it was a good idea, but because of the powerful impact both these artists have had on me and my music. Afrobeat, jazz, funk, and hip-hop are already so interconnected, and I always thought it would be exciting to work on a project that combined all of these elements together. I now have such a profound appreciation for both Fela Kuti and De La Soul's music. Both of these artists are timeless in their own [...]
