INSPIRATION: Fela Kuti

saul williams says that you’ve gotta eat in order to shit…meaning that you can’t produce art without intaking it. there are a slew of musicians, authors, filmmakers, actors, painters, and artists in general that i’ve been putting off, even though i know i’d really dig them if i took the time to check them out. being that i’m off tour and in production mode right now, i’ve decided to dedicate this summer to studying as many of these artists as possible! yeee!
so perfect timing that stanklin from the wondaland arts society posted up an old documentary on fela kuti, as his song “water get no enemy” has been a sort of an anthem for me and dahlak while on the road. his music has already recently been in my head since cody chesnuTT dropped the fela-inspired afrObama earlier this week.
check out the rest of the doc at the wondaland blog!
