Back in September, we revisited a very special live event on Flight 1067 to Africa. The event was Beasts of No Nation, the annual PBS live tribute to the irrefutable king of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, which was originally performed as two concerts at Max Watt's House of Music on the last weekend of August 2019.
That weekend saw Fela’s son and celebrated Nigerian singer-saxophonist Femi Kuti joined local champions of Afrobeat The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra to play the fourth iteration of Beasts of No Nation.
A couple of months ago, we picked out two excerpts from the concerts, played across two Sunday afternoons on Flight 1067 to Africa. We have two more excerpts from the concerts that we are eager to share with you once again on Flight 1067 to Africa.
Tune in from 3pm on November 21 and 28 to hear more from the this fabulous event.
Studio 5 Rewind is brought to you by our mates at Mountain Goat.
