The meeting of Ayers' vibraphonist sensibility with Fela's dense, politically charged Afrobeat arrangements produced something neither could have made alone, a genuine cross-continental dialogue between two traditions with more in common than geography might suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMusic of Many Colours is a joint album between Roy Ayers and Fela Kuti, recorded after a three week tour of Nigeria's major cities in 1979, during which Ayers performed as the opening act for Fela's band. The two artists decided to record the album as a round-up to the tour. Ayers describes the experience saying, \"I met Fela Kuti in Nigeria in 1979, and we fell into a great relationship, good personal and music vibes, and we recorded that album together. Fela also came to USA in the eighties and we performed at NYC's Madison Square Garden. Amazingly energetic, Fela Kuti had a very original concept that was called Afro Beat - a genre with a very unique identity and exceptional music. One of Fela Kuti's most impressive qualities was that he was undeniably a brilliant show man, as a musician and as a huge dancer as well. His African concept was truly original... The tour was about two black men together coming together, one from Africa and other from USA, a very exciting collaboration.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841114314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.29.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. 2000 Blacks Got To Be Free (18:39)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Africa - Center Of The World (17:32)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phonodisk (PHD 003)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nigeria\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Africa- Centre Of The World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB 2,000 Blacks Got To Be Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrafikad – Artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLekan Animashaun – Baritone Saxophone, Leader (Africa 70 Band)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlake Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFehintola Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolake Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIhase Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTokunbo Anikulapo Kuti – Chorus (Female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChief Udoh Essiet – Congas (1st Rhythm Conga)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOkon Etuk Iyang – Congas (2nd Rhythm Conga)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYomi Osunfisan – Design, Art Direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChas Gerber – Engineer (Mixing), Engineer (Recording)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJames Green – Engineer (Mixing), Engineer (Recording)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKayode Salami – Engineer (Mixing), Engineer (Recording)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverbowale Moses – Flugelhorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKalenky Clement Djalo – Guitar (Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTunde Brown – Guitar (Rhythm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOkalue Ojeah – Guitar (Tenor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChas Gerber – Lacquer Cut By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaiye Ojomo – Percussion (Sticks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoy Ayers – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlagunju Omojola – Shekere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOyinade Adeniran – Tenor Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOtenioro Olu Ifayehun – Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFesobi Olawaiye – Valve Trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoy Ayers – Vibraphone (Solo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547561513278,"sku":"303968","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633214255422-transparent-v2.png?v=1791436074","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/fela-kuti-music-of-many-colours-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
