Fela Kuti

I've been interested in his music for awhile, I'm just wondering where to start off. I was thinking maybe a greatest hits cd but maybe i'm better off buying a original album. can anyone reccomend what to get?

For a single album...



...Zombie


For a comp...



...The Best Best of Fela Kuti (2 CD set)


And that's if you're lucky enough to find either one of them at a decent price.

I'd start out w/ THe Best Best of Fela Kuti. In addition to all the grooves, the liner notes are very extensive. Gives lots of background on the motivation behind the songs, as well as insight into the political climate that helped create them.

Well, all of his records that I've heard have sounded totally alike, so you can't hardly go wrong. lol

I gotta say this is some real POWERFUL MUSIC! I played the first disc all weekend long. My fav right now is "Water No Get Enemy". Now that I listened to both discs I'm def going to be playing this for a long,long,long time. I'm gonna get more Fela cd's too. this music is too good.

Start from the beginning and buy 'em on vinyl...
