One of my interests is collecting protest music from different
parts of the world.  What I look for is music quality and
vocals which can give me some understanding of the political
situation in a country.  Recently, someone turned me on to
Fela Anikulapo Kuti. I bought one tape of his, Black President,
which I like very much.  A second tape, Egypt 80: Live in
Amsterdam, which I bought, doesn't appeal to me at all.

I have three questions.  First, can anyone recommend any other
African musicians whose music is also political?  Are there
any other Fela tapes you would particularly recommend?  Also,
if anyone would like to trade a tape for the Egypt 80 tape
by Fela, please contact me.
