Fela, The Africa 70, Ginger Baker

Afrobeat Emperor Fela Kuti’s 1971 jams with Africa 70 star his favoured sticksman Tony Allen on dual stool with Ginger Baker, the legendary UK drummer for Cream and many others. A key part of the Afrobeat canon, showcasing how Fela could command anyone in his band, providing they’ve got the tekkerz, ‘Why Black Man Dey Suffer’ arrived in Fela’s groundbreaking streak of albums that knit West African rhythmic tradition with jazz, soul, funk and rock ’n roll, aka Afrobeat.
