Just heard a fantastic "Fela Kuti Tribute Band" in Burlington, Vermont, during it's June 2011 Jazz Festival, and the lead singer taught the audience to "open and close" as they danced (simple dance steps). Great to hear Fela's music (and spirit) come alive in such potent, powerful, professional tribute bands.
@JayMFDilla what an AWESOME Christmas gift! I remember the first time I heard Fela. I sat in stunned silence for the duration of side one of the Fela Live With Ginger Baker album. I've been addicted ever since.
OpenaaClose♪
