Free Music Notes for Open & Close/Afrodisiac
Free Music Review: I heard this music in the movie "The Visitor" and fell in love
Hit: 5 Stars
Unfortunately, there was only one drum number from this CD, Je'nwi Teni (Don't Gag Me) on the movie soundtrack. Since this recording was described as seminal, I grabbed the CD. The performances are from the 1970's and much of the music protests the conditions in Nigeria. The sound's very good
I don't pretend to be an expert on Fela Kuti, but I will say his music is inspiring, both joyous and powerful. You've got strong horns, organ, and drum rhythm with some singing in both Nigerian and English (Open and Close, specifically for the latter). Mr. Kuti lays down a fine groove whether it's sweet and slow or fast and hot.
If you love African music, drums, just plain good stuff, this CD is one you should listen to.
