Fela lives!
Great pick, I love that afrobeat sound.
Thanks. This is from their debut album (self-titled).
I actually like their second album, "Towards Other Worlds", a lot more. They play up the Sun Ra influence (crazy screaming bari sax), which mixes things up a bit. Pretty much all the songs in the first album sound just like this one, which gets boring after a while.
Awesome, I'll have to check it out. Love me some Sun Ra. Makes sense with their name, the afro-futurism thing.
Yep, "Arkestra" basically screams Sun Ra. I'll see if I can find a good track from the second album and post it here.
