5.0 out of 5 stars Fela twofer finds funkmaster at the top of his game, 16 May 2006
These Fela CDs bringing together two presumably previously hard to find albums really are good value. Three of the tracks clock in at 13 minutes and follow Fela's recipe of hard driving funky afrobeat rhythms, searing horn lines and call and response vocals.

The horn lines are sprightly, tuneful and tight on songs such as 'Egbe Mi O' where Fela exhorts 'Everybody outside of this record' to sing along. Impassioned vocals, coruscating lyrics, burning horn solos and Tony Allen's magnificent drumming abound. 'Buy Africa' has great horns and rhythm section that could have come straight from the very best of US funk but with the special touch of Fela's political lyrics, chilled out and then heating up electric piano and Tony Allen afrobeat rhythms. This combination makes Fela truly unique. 'Lady' with its comments on the changing position of African women in the age of women's liberation are a little more complex than they first appear and the groove builds imperceptibly until the vocals kick in. 'Shakara' kicks off like a funk version of Miles Davis' 'Milestones' with the World Saxophone Quartet's Hamiett Bluett on baritone sax. Great stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars New found God, 4 Dec 2007
By Mr. R. SLEE (Southend, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I came across Fela purly by chance. Jazz is mainly my thing from coltrane-lonnie smith, but Fela ticks so many musical boxes, theres something for everyone tastes with fela. This is the only fela cd i have and so im not able to compare this to any of his other albums but i gave it 5* in comparason to other funk i have heard.
I have brought 10 for xmas presents! IF you like funk check out Herbie Hankcocks 1974 album Head Hunters.
