Music of Many Colours

Music of Many Colours is a joint album between Roy Ayers and Fela Kuti, recorded after a threeweek tour of Nigerias major cities in 1979, during which Roy Ayers performed as the opening act for Felas band.The two artists decided to record the album as a round-up to the tour. Roy Ayers describes the experiencesaying, I met Fela Kuti in Nigeria in 1979, and we fell into a great relationship, good personal and musicvibes, and we recorded that album together. Fela also came to USA in the eighties and we performedat NYCs Madison Square Garden. Amazingly energetic, Fela Kuti had a very original concept that wascalled Afro Beat a genre with a very unique identity and exceptional music. One of Fela Kutis mostimpressive qualities was that he was undeniably a brilliant show man, as a musician and as a hugedancer as well. His African concept was truly original… The tour was about two black men togethercoming together, one from Africa and other from USA, a very exciting collaboration.
