Fela! on broadway

Hey guys! Remember when I discussed Fela! the Broadway musical based on Fela Kuti's life. Well, since I didn't have much time I couldn't really talk about it as much as I wanted. Here is some information and a couple of videos about Fela!

Highlife Music

Highlife is a music genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. It is very popular in Liberia and all of English-speaking West Africa, although little has been produced in other countries due to economic challenges brought on by war and instability.

Highlife is characterized by jazzy horns and multiple guitars which lead the band. Recently it has acquired an uptempo, synth-driven sound.
