Munich drummer and producer Manuel da Coll, working as Captain Yossarian, rebuilds four Fela Kuti songs with a live band and then takes them through dub mixing. These are newly played interpretations, rather than remixes of Fela’s original masters.
The project brings in musicians including Jimi Tenor, with the mixes handled by Captain Yossarian and Seb-I at London’s Sausage Studio. The arrangements begin with interlocking Afrobeat parts before delay, reverb and sudden dropouts change the space around the rhythm section.
“In super tight synergy, showcasing a syncopated masterclass of assorted drums, reeds and brass.”
