A Major contribution to Fela scholarship in particular, and African popular culture studies in general; it explores Afrobeat as musical practice and cultural politics.
– TEJUMOLA OLANIYAN, Associate Professor of English, University of Virginia.
An original effort. Like Fela's life, this account of it is not only a wild ride but a magical African musical mystery tour.
