Fela Kuti was quite possibly the greatest African musician of all time. His influence spread to the Beatles and Stevie Wonder to James Brown and beyond.
This is the first in a major series of Anthologies commemorating Fela’s musical legacy. ‘Anthology Volume 1’ is a beautifully packaged 3 disc set.
CD1 concentrates on the best of Fela's early years, including the Koola Lobitas period and the LA Sessions. CD2 features a selection of the best tracks from the classic era with Fela's Africa 70 band.
The third disc is the 1984 Documentary DVD ‘Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense’. The film charts the life of Fela and includes previously unseen footage from his famous headline show at Glastonbury.
This release features insightful sleeve notes by Fela's first daughter Yeni.
