They have one album out called “Laka Anta” released throu… Continue

FELA! On Broadway: "Everybody say 'Yeah yeah.'”

Forty-nine albums, Twenty-seven wives, two hundred arrests, and a fusion of sounds from West Africa, North America, and Europe, not to mention the numerous raids and rallies and regroupings.
