Fela Soul

Fela Soul isn’t just a mashup; it’s a cross-continental conversation between two of the most influential forces in Black music history: the Highlife/Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti and the legendary hip-hop trio De La Soul.

Produced by the soulful crate-digger Amerigo Gazaway, this project serves as the flagship entry in his "soul-mates" series. By meticulously weaving Fela Kuti's polyrhythmic horn sections and hypnotic basslines with the Native Tongues’ whimsical, jazz-infused lyricism, Gazaway creates a sonic bridge between Lagos and Long Island.
