Music reviews of The Best of Femi Kuti
Music Review: mixed motives on great music
Rating: 4 Stars
This is music absolutely deserving all of five stars, but it *does* seem superfluous. Two albums, and then a best of? Obviously a marketing, money-making move.
As someone who has both discs, and who loves African dance music in general and the Kutis specifically, I completely agree with Fuchs's review.
However, as I seek to introduce Femi to those not initiated to Afrobeat, this seems like a good choice. It really does have my favorite tracks from each CD, without question.
If you haven't heard or don't own Femi's music, and aren't sure you can handle two CDs, this is a great selection of FANTASTIC music by Femi, the crown prince if Afrobeat music: that blissful fusion of traditional Nigerian Yoruba music, classic African pop music, reggae, jazz, hip-hop, and a large dose of funk.
But if you already have either Shoki Shoki or Fight to Win, forget this and just go buy the other one. It's even better than whichever one you already have!
