The Music of Fela Kuti
Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is the most popular and controversial musician ever to come out of Africa. Born in Nigeria 47 years ago, he has dominated the African musical scene since the early 70s with his unique fusion of traditional rhythm and jazz melodies known as Afro-Beat.
Fela's music speaks of the conflict between the European colonial heritage and the traditional African past and cries out forcefully against corruption, exploitation and cultural betrayal.
This programme interweaves Fela's music with the story of his struggle against the Nigerian authorities to retain his position as the musical conscience of independent Africa.

Arnold's bachelor party begins well enough as he and four friends do the rounds of bars and clubs on a hot New York night. But as the drink starts to flow, each man is led to consider his life, and when the surface of drunken revelry is stripped away, their doubts and anxieties begin to show....
Fine ensemble acting and Paddy Chayefsky 's brilliant script feature in this incisive look at male attitudes and pretensions.
