Thanks for posting these. There's a brief interview with Bowie, with more about his experience playing with Fela Kuti, here: http://www.jaybabcock.com/lester.html It’s always good to hear Lester Bowie, and Phillip Wilson, too.

I think he might have played three or four songs in 90-120 minutes. Ran into Flea (of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) in the audience. There's a great box, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Music-Weapon-Fela-Kuti/dp/B000RQAKHU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1237380277&sr=8-3" rel="nofollow"><I>Music is the Weapon</I></a>, that includes the two-CD best-of you cited above, plus a DVD with a documentary filmed in '82 or '83 at his Shrine compound. There's two versions of the film on the disc, because the English-language and French-language versions each contain footage not in the other. Weird.

That was the tune that got me turned on to Fela. He was the O.G. and he didn't fuck around. Check out Willard Jenkins intv.s with Randy Weston on Open Sky Jazz for more on Fela.
