about

Illgod strips down Fela's instruments to progressive chords and hand percussions, the occasional saxophone and trumpets blaring into your speakers but almost never in unison to create a complete an Afro-experience. The gritty drums rather filled the missing holes bringing a different vibe to the story. Did it work? It did. A 100.

Kalakuti, a play on Fela's house 'Kalakuta' represents the process of music making, which, rather than the bustling magic witnessed on stage is mostly a therapeutic and slow process that is almost necessary for any creative process.

Kalakuti remains urgent today as it was when Fela was alive. The image of Fela is frequently resurrected in our society, we have failed to eulogise him or even bury him for that matter. Rather we evoke him in our moments of civil disobedience, reflection and political insurrection. And the relevance of this beat tape today comes with the sad realisation that we still fight the same problems Fela did in his short lifetime.
