Music reviews of Gentleman / Confusion
Music Review: There's No 'Confusion, Gentlemen'... This One's A Must!
Rating: 5 Stars
Anyone who thinks they know something about funk, groove music or world beat and doesn't own a handful of Kuti's LP'S is both a poseur and charlatan. It's that simple, as harsh as it sounds. Afrobeat was his invention, he put it on the map and had no equal during the 60's or 70's and would be a household name like James Brown if his political leanings didn't keep him persecuted, incarcerated and tortured by his government during the 80's. These two LP's are among his finest and come highly recommended, along with 'London Scene/Shakara', 'Open And Close/ Afrodisiac', 'Inside Out' and 'Rofororo Fight', among others. Non-stop percolating rhythms, punctuating horns, call and response vocals, fiery horn solos and Fela's social and political diatribes keep things constantly sizzling, searing and smoking. No joke, on a funk level, some of his recordings make James Brown and George Clinton sound like the Captain and Tennille - if you're not familiar, I invite you to indulge, imbibe and intoxicate yourself immediately.

Description of Gentleman / Confusion
Gentleman is both an Africa 70 and Afro-beat masterpiece. High marks go to the scathing commentary that Fela Anikulapo Kuti lets loose but also to the instrumentation and the overall arrangements, as they prove to be some of the most interesting and innovative of Fela's '70s material. Fela Kuti's 1975 Confusion shows him and Africa 70 at the heights of instrumental prowess and ambiguous jibes.International CDs
