If you've not done so already then do yourself a favour and pick up the fantastic new compilation Black Man’s Cry: The Inspiration of Fela Kuti just released via the consistently brilliant Now-Again Records.
The record collects artists old and new whose connection to the king of Afrobeat cannot be denied. The standout track from the compilation comes from Trinidad not Nigeria in the form of a Steel Drum Orchestra. The Lever Brothers Gay Flamingoes provide an awe-inspiring medley of Kuti's 'Egbi Mi O' and 'Black Man's Cry'. Prepare yourself for an unstoppable steel drum dervish!
