I dugged out some real gems today and yesterday. You have a feast to listen to my lovely readers, as it is back to modern stuff on my next musical forays.

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 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.

Fela Kuti & De La Soul - Fela Soul
