Music is the Weapon… of the Present!
Middle East’s Revolutionary Artists meet Fela Anikulapo Kuti
One was beaten, one was imprisoned, all have been questioned by the police and most are facing censorship. But their music cannot be stopped. Freemuse is proud to present a unique track with a group of today’s most powerful Arab and Iranian revolutionary artists joining together to cover Fela Kuti’s most powerful political songs.
L7a9ed (El Haqed, “The Enraged One,” Morocco), Ramy Essam (Egypt), Arabian Knightz (Egypt), Refugees of Rap (Palestine/Syria), Salomé MC (Iran), Palestinian Rapperz (Gaza), Armada Bizerta (Tunisia), and Moe Hamzeh (The Kordz, Lebanon) are just some of the artists who’ve joined forces with the goal of recording some of the most controversial political songs ever to come out of Africa – the songs of Fela Kuti.
